Further Explorations

Further Explorations by the Horace Silver Quintet is an album by American jazz pianist Horace Silver, recorded on January 13, 1958 and released on Blue Note in 1958. The quintet features horn section Art Farmer and Clifford Jordan and rhythm section Teddy Kotick and Louis Hayes.

Background
Silver's tune "Safari" had been recorded by Blue Note before in 1952 and was re-issued as a single to coincide with the release of the album.

Reception
The AllMusic review by Steve Leggett states: "Further Explorations is a solid, even striking outing, and if it isn't maybe quite as flashy as some of its predecessors, it is no less substantive and revealing."
