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 |
. I met Horace Silver when I was in college at CSUN back in the early 70's. He was a friend of one of my instructors. He came to our class one day and chatted us up on jazz for about a half hour. I was very new to jazz back then and I had no idea that this guy was a giant. Fast forward to 1995 and I went to see him at Vartan's Jazz Club when I lived in Denver in the early-mid 90's. I walked over to him after his set to remind him of the day he visited our classroom. He remembered visiting our classroom...but he didn't remember me. We had a great conversation. Vartan's was a killer club in Cherry Creek, a great upscale venue. They had top-name talent all the time. Sadly, Denver would't support it and the club died an agonizing death. I have several of Horace's LP's from his 60's & 70's output. This is sad news. . |
