Nobody had fused the Black church with bebop and made it swing like this before. Horace Silver brought gospel-inflected melody lines into jazz with The Preacher and Doodlin', backed by Kenny Dorham, Hank Mobley, Doug Watkins, and Art Blakey. This 1955 Blue Note session didn't just sell well -- it helped define the label's identity for the next decade.
