His early days on tenor sax were great but I absolutely love his "hard bop" piano. He lived a long life and left a great musical legacy.

Love his recordings. Always great bands with some of my favorite tenor players inc Joe Henderson and the underrated Junior Cook. Here is a good and brief overview of his best recordings for anyone interested: http://www.jazz.com/dozens/the-dozens-horace-silver Albert, I am intrigued by your comment re tenor sax. I am not aware of Silver playing saxophone; would love to hear that. RIP Mr. Silver
