Horace Silver Quintet: "Nobody Knows" (from The United States of Mind)

Horace Silver Quintet and Elvin Jones Trio: Jazz After Midnight (1968)
Great talent. I have many of his albums, enjoy them fairly often. I downloaded Tokyo Blues just a couple of weeks ago so I could listen while out walking.
ReplyDeleteSo long, Horace, a giant of American music both as a pianist (often underestimated) and composer. Some other great ones besides Song for My Father and the others you've posted: Silver's Blue, Sister Sadie, Filthy McNasty, The African Queen, Too Much Sake, and on and on.
ReplyDeleteFamously a nice guy as well as (much like Art Blakey) a mentor to younger jazz musicians.
ReplyDeleteJust recalled, I saw him once - maybe twice - at the Playboy Jazz Festival, back in the day. It was a quartet, but I don't remember who he was with.
ReplyDeleteNo, make that a quintet.
