I grew up in the same town as him. One time in the late 90's he walked in our high school orchestra rehearsal. Our conductor introduced him with so much pride, but we had no idea who that "old man" was, and frankly weren't impressed. We were all into eminem at the time. Man, were we dumb!

Well structured minor-key latin blues shuffle with tasty soloing suddenly gets lifted out of itself and deconstructed - while retaining it's structure- by an astounding piano solo. Jazz at it's finest. The highest forms of playing on display here.

I met Horace in a record shop in Hermosa Beach in the early 1980's. Started to check out his music and it took me to so many other great artists of his genre. What a prince of a man, he was so sharp and yet so humble. I feel honored to have known him, even though briefly, he really had an everlasting influence on my music. The real musicians know how to act, because their music speaks for itself. He really looked magnificent for an older man, never out of style with that beret.

Horace Silver is heads above the madding crowd with his focus and intensity and so damn sweet it blows my mind back to yesterday when he was cooking with Junior and Blue; there is a joy that "smack's of a blues that soars and heads right up into the rare and toxic upbeat ether of making it happen...even on a blues. You have to have been there to know that they are playing inside of a flow of burning wonder.

I'm a sax player and I had the unbelievably good fortune to hear the following quintet once at a place that was called Boomer's on Bleeker Street in NYC, in1976: Blue Mitchell, Junior Cook, Ceder Walton, Sam Jones and Billy Higgins! The most unforgettable night of music of my life. They played a number of Horace's tunes that Blue and Junior tore up and one that was out-of-this-world beautiful: "Rapture." Blue's solos that night convinced me that he was the greatest modern jazz trumpeter.

@floppabingussled

4y↑6

Kirk, you are indeed a fortunate soul to have witnessed the playing of these great jazz pioneers. The atmosphere must have been just electric inside Boomers in 1976. Jazz legends never die! They just keep improvising into the hearts and minds of generations to come. Peace!

+Jim Hendricks I know what you mean about "writing off" people for years. Sometimes it's the genre or style that puts one off. Then, one day you listen in a nonjudgmental frame of mind, and something gets through to you. I did this with Chet Baker. Now, I can't stop listening to his trumpet/flugelhorn lines in awe. You are right: it is a matter of taste in the artist, their wisdom and musical instincts, and not necessarily technical prowess.
