Remembering the great Horace Silver who was born on this day in 1928. Silver was a pre-eminent founder of what became known as hard bop or soul jazz, an extension of bebop, with elements of rhythm and blues, gospel, and Latin-American music added. His piano style, terse, imaginative, and utterly funky, became a model for subsequent mainstream pianists to emulate. Silver’s piano solos were exceptionally clear and melodic, and he was not given to the standard practice, typified by his prime influence Bud Powell, of improvising long, complex lines of eighth notes. Here, he is performing “Nutville” with Bill Hardman on trumpet, Bennie Maupin on saxophone, John Williams on bass and Bill Cobham on drums live at the Copenhagen Jazz Festival in 1968.

It’s not every day you get to hear Duke Ellington make music with Louis Armstrong—but this happened in 1961.

Coltrane said: "I would have liked to have worked over all those numbers again, but then I guess the performances wouldn't have had the same spontaneity. And they mightn't have been any better!" Recorded on this day in 1962 Duke Ellington & John Coltrane. What's your fave track?

being a self-employed musician/solo artist has a lot of perks…but it also is REALLY difficult. The grind is real. – at Minato-ku, Tokyo

In jazz school they don't teach you about getting home from the gig at 2am and waking up at 7am to take your kid to school.
