I have most of his Blue Note LPs. 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.
Distinctive voice in jazz who will be sorely missed. 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:

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
