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.

Mr. Miller man who I deeply admired and loved. He was part of my Golden Striker Trio for quite some time, and I miss him every single day.

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!"
