Product Details

Horace Silver's fingerprints are on virtually every jazz piano player who came after him, from McCoy Tyner to modern soul jazz explorers. His Blue Note recordings of the 1950s and '60s essentially wrote the hard bop rulebook, built around earthy grooves, blues feeling, and melodies direct enough to stick with you long after the needle lifts.


Silver is known for his distinctive playing style and pioneering compositional contributions to hard bop. He was influenced by a wide range of musical styles, notably gospel music, African music, and Latin American music, and sometimes ventured into the soul jazz genre.
