The great Roger Humphries on drums. A Pittsburgh Jazz Hall of Famer - it's so special to see a young Roger with Horace Silver in '64. Roger was on the original recording of Song For My Father, but this video confirms the legend, the myth - that Roger was truly an actual member of the Silver Quintet. And this video proves the fact. His nephew Greg Humphries is also a gifted drummer, and another Pittsburgh Jazz legend. Props to Roger Humphries, who still performs regularly in his hometown - and was considered a drummer prodigy in his toddler days. He comes from a very musical family on the North Side section of "The Burgh." Proud to say I know Mr. R. Humphries and learned jazz drumming tips from Greg while we were students at Point Park University, in downtown Pittsburgh, circa 1977-1980.
True, and Roger looked so young here. I would guess he is barely 18 or 19 and already playing so fantastic. Then again, Louis Hayes was just as young when he began playing with Horace in 1957!
Truly a special time in America to produce such Art! These men were of a unique caliber to understand a produce this Art, truly a shame that they never were appreciated for their Talents!!!
Merci à l'ORTF, Jean-Christophe Averty, l'INA et mes impôts d'avoir conservé cette merveille d'Antibes Juan Les Pins. Joe Henderson révolutionnaire discret en pleine forme
Roger has been a long time friend and I was blown away to see him on this. Horace and Roger were together for so many years, of and on, and Roger still knocks me away on drums. He was drummer on Cape Verdean Blues set.
beautiful. I had a crappy job that I had to drive to for 2 years and listening to the jazz radio station and discovering him (sadly, because he died) made it worth it. His passion reminds of me of the insane guy at the piano in Reefer Madness, but with more skills.
The video "freezes" at the 12:38 mark and doesn't "un-freeze" for the rest of the video's run (although the audio continues). What's up with that? Can it be fixed?
I can't imagine life without JAZZ, and Horace Silver is one of the individual that makes Life Liveable

Wow, very creative playing by Carmell Jones.
Yes, Carmell Jones is still very under recognized for his immense musicality.
I've never heard Horace sound so Ellingtonian!Thank you for this!!!
Love these old black & white videos, Horace is the greatest!!!!
Joe Henderson looks like such a bad ass with his sunglasses
My great maestro Horace Silver bebop muzik! Greetings from Jazzman Kuala Lumpur.

These guys paved the way for jazz of our time
Thank you so much for sharing this with the world! Joe Henderson is my fav sax player! They're all bad ass!
Cool to hear Horace play one of his tunes that he had already recorded, he didn’t do that often (with the exception of Song for My Father)
beautiful. I had a crappy job that I had to drive to for 2 years and listening to the jazz radio station and discovering him (sadly, because he died) made it worth it. His passion reminds of me of the insane guy at the piano in Reefer Madness, but with more skills.
amazing. I wish I was there.
really love roger humphries' work here. such a killer groove.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 SALUTE TO THESE GREAT 👍🏽 MUSICIANS 🎵🎶
Recorded July 28 1964, Juan les Pins, Antibes Jazz Festival
He even quotes "It Don't Mean A Thing(if it ain't got that swing)
Drum kit setups sure have changed over the years~~Horace always had great bands.
Soulful jazz
Lalo Schifrin en 1958 me hablaba de Horace Silver!
Quote of Sherazade (Rimsky Korsakov) at the beginning of JH's chorus. Great job !
Horace Silver referente absoluto en el Jazz!
Joe Henderson!!!!!
How great would it have been if this were recorded & remastered by Rudy Van G
Originality at it´s best.
Un petit air japonisant à la fin du solo de piano en effet
Please list the musicians' names in the video description!
Roy Hargrove plays trumpet

See top of comments, jazz-lover!

Écoutez « the hard pop grand pop »,c’est mieux et PLUS actuel MAIS tt aussi intéressant !!❤️🎶🎶🎶💣💣
Personnel?
Horace Silver - piano
Teddy Smith - bass
Roger Humphries - drums
Joe Henderson - tenor sax
Carmell Jones - trumpet
il est à se demander pourquoi H. Silver accompagne les solistes de manière si hachée.
Culture ,choix , genie une conception rythmique du piano permettant au soliste de s accapparer la melodie .
J adore le discours piano drum soliste 👍
