Finger PoppinШаблон:' with the Horace Silver Quintet is an album by jazz pianist Horace Silver recorded on January 31, 1959 and released on Blue Note later that year. The quintet features horn section Blue Mitchell and Junior Cook and rhythm section Gene Taylor and Louis Hayes.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Steve Huey states, "Finger Poppin' was the first album Horace Silver recorded with the most celebrated version of his quintet... It's also one of Silver's all-time classics, perfectly blending the pianist's advanced, groundbreaking hard bop style with the winning, gregarious personality conveyed in his eight original tunes. Silver always kept his harmonically sophisticated music firmly grounded in the emotional directness and effortless swing of the blues, and Finger Poppin' is one of the greatest peaks of that approach. A big part of the reason is the chemistry between the group – it's electrifying and tightly knit, with a palpable sense of discovery and excitement at how well the music is turning out... Finger Poppin' is everything small-group hard bop should be, and it's a terrific example of what made the Blue Note label's mainstream sound so infectious."
