His life and passing are very significant to the world of jazz in general and the Hard Bop genre in particular. It's sad to see all the greats passing away and many like him who are irreplaceable.

GhasleyWhat's important is the body of work Horace Silver left behind, not what one of us happened to recall. I miss things all the time. I am a big fan and had looked up his data more than once. There's an iPad on the coffee table so everyone has access to lyrics and bio while listening. It's amazing how much use it gets, especially on Tuesday nights when there's a crowd. This afternoon I had to make a trip to the grocery and the Jazz channel on Sirius XM was playing a live version of "Cape Verdean Blues." On the trip home they were still paying tribute to Horace Silver, setting aside part of today's programming to honor him. |
We do miss things sometimes; and sometimes things fall through the cracks. Frankly, I am amazed that having been a fan of Silver and of tenor saxophone players for so many years I was not aware of that fact. Glad to know and thanks for the education. Do you know if he ever recorded on tenor? Now I am really intrigued and the hunt is on. |
I can't confirm but this looks like it "might" be the Stan Getz album that Horace Silver plays on. Not sure it's worth chasing down even though it's available on CD. http://www.allmusic.com/album/stan-getz-vol-2-1950-1952-mw0001424659 |
