Horace Silver – Song For My Father (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Recorded at a pivotal moment when hard bop was absorbing Afro-Cuban and Latin influences from every direction, Silver's harmonic vocabulary here opened doors that musicians are still walking through today. The title track famously provided the melodic foundation for Steely Dan's "Rikki Don't Lose That Number," introducing Silver's genius to generations who may not have known his name.
The Horace Silver Quintet -"Song For My Father (Cantiga Para Meu Pai)" Capitol Music Group; Blue Note; Jazz; A decade into his recording career, pianist Horace Silver made the album that would endure as the crown jewel of a catalog that boasts numerous hard-bop classics. Song For My Father captured the transition of his quintet with two tracks taken from an October 1963 session with Blue Mitchell, Junior Cook, Gene Taylor, and Roy Brooks. A year later, Silver entered Val Gelder Studio again with a new band, featuring Carmell Jones, Joe Henderson, Teddy Smith and Roger Humphries for a session that yielded four more cuts, including what would become his signature tune, "Song for My Father," a dedication to his father that was inspired by both his Cape Verdean heritage and the music Silver had heard on a recent trip to Brazil. Available on 180g blue vinyl. Limited Edition. Indie Exclusive
