you see the music oozing out of these guys as they effortlessly and instantaneously shape the flow into logically nuanced 4 dimensional poetic structures.
My father&uncle turned me on to Silver, WOW! what a relavation, his sour off key style had me hooked, but I must admit he's like sushi, an acquired taste.
I grew up in the same town as him. One time in the late 90's he walked in our high school orchestra rehearsal. Our conductor introduced him with so much pride, but we had no idea who that "old man" was, and frankly weren't impressed. We were all into eminem at the time. Man, were we dumb!
Senor Blues is the siren call of an aching heart. I can't stop thinking about how much I love this song. Video of the performance makes it even better.
I saw him perform in Glasgow's Fruit Market, he was in his seventies, wearing a very sharp silk suit, which matched the music to perfection. One of the best concerts I ever attended.
I'm a sax player and I had the unbelievably good fortune to hear the following quintet once at a place that was called Boomer's on Bleeker Street in NYC, in1976: Blue Mitchell, Junior Cook, Ceder Walton, Sam Jones and Billy Higgins! The most unforgettable night of music of my life. They played a number of Horace's tunes that Blue and Junior tore up and one that was out-of-this-world beautiful: "Rapture." Blue's solos that night convinced me that he was the greatest modern jazz trumpeter.
Kirk, you are indeed a fortunate soul to have witnessed the playing of these great jazz pioneers. The atmosphere must have been just electric inside Boomers in 1976. Jazz legends never die! They just keep improvising into the hearts and minds of generations to come. Peace!
I will agree Blue Michell is on of the best trumpeter of his day BUT i wouldn't go as far saying he the Greatest. Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard will give him a run for his money.
Horace Silver represents the hard bop genre well, which I love. The slower tempo and less complex melodies allow for deeper emotions to be conveyed through the instrumentation.
I met Horace in a record shop in Hermosa Beach in the early 1980's. Started to check out his music and it took me to so many other great artists of his genre. What a prince of a man, he was so sharp and yet so humble. I feel honored to have known him, even though briefly, he really had an everlasting influence on my music. The real musicians know how to act, because their music speaks for itself. He really looked magnificent for an older man, never out of style with that beret.
Horace Silver is heads above the madding crowd with his focus and intensity and so damn sweet it blows my mind back to yesterday when he was cooking with Junior and Blue; there is a joy that "smack's of a blues that soars and heads right up into the rare and toxic upbeat ether of making it happen...even on a blues. You have to have been there to know that they are playing inside of a flow of burning wonder.
All of them just great musicians. Love all the solos. Blue is one of the great trumpet players to my mind. I saw him as a leader in SF back in the 70s-he walked all around the room spreading jubilation. And I love Horace's too cool solo here too! But they're all so fine!
I've been infected with The Horace Effect for decades now since he first blew my mind. Always reaching for something fresh, surprising, and out of the ordinary. I feel his funky mischievous influence every time I set down to play. His spirit endures in every musician he affected so profoundly.
So lush and fluid. Horace's 'Song For My Father' is an especially loved Horace Silver song. Yes, all the good ones go, but 50 years later, here we all are, groovin' on his music. RIP with music hugging you all the while.
That's one of my favorite as well. There's a live version here. Features Bennie Maupin on tenor sax. Bill Hardman trumpet, Johnny Williams bass and a young Billy Cobham playing a four piece drum kit. 5 years ago
Brings back wonderful memories as my father would 'school us' about the JAZZ GREATs.....Horace Silver was definitely one of the THEM!! Awesome musicianship!! Cant help patting my feet! I love the way the movements flow and change!!!
This is music....beyond most other music. Well structured minor-key latin blues shuffle with tasty soloing suddenly gets lifted out of itself and deconstructed - while retaining it's structure- by an astounding piano solo. Jazz at it's finest. The highest forms of playing on display here. Taut and spare. Not a bar too many or too few.
This vidéo is a pure gem. Everything is just as it should be. These dudes seem to be in such a perfect osmosis. Their sound is both easy to get into and sophisticated, and Horace Silver's solo is absolutely mesmerizing. This is a first class jazz performance and my all time favourite.
I was fortunate enough to her Horace in night clubs in Southern California and in college I was playing Upright bass and I got to play with Drummer Louie Bellson
RIP Horace (June 18th 2014) - one of the absolute greats. Such an unassuming man who had a huge impact on the beginnings of Jazz as well as its constant evolution. A man way ahead of his time.
I my house in the 60s, my father played this stuff. We never listened to James Brown in our house. Only Miles, Evans, Roach, Brubeck, Coltrane, Monk, Adderly, Henderson, etc. We listened to James Brown and Motown in his '63 Impala and '66 Coupe DeVille😀
Is there anything more affecting than Horace's almost tender, even modest, introduction? Which would be in inverse proportion to his rhythmic confidence and daring.

So true. I discovered Horace Silver at CD Source, an awesome spot in Dallas. They were playing this when I walked into the store, many years ago and I instantly purchased the cd. I've been hooked on him every since.
Deze setting geeft precies de goede toon,perfect. Publiek is er nog niet aan toe zo te zien.unieke opnames. Luister zo'n 60jaar naar old school, verveeld nooit en blijf steeds verbazen dat er eigenlijk zo weinigen luisteraars zijn. Moderne jazz verliest nog sneller aandacht.
True. And even though they were obviously well respected by a jazz audience, as soon as they were out in the general public, they were subject to the same discrimination as any person with similar phenotypical characteristics. I believe that being well-dressed would have also been a way to deflect prejudice.
you see the music oozing out of these guys as they effortlessly and instantaneously shape the flow into logically nuanced 4 dimensional poetic structures.
....This is the music of my peoples!
Yesssss. You put it right into words. The perfect words for this. I want to say more but ill just leave your words to describe it all. Bless.
Steven Mercy this is the music of all....ALL people. Stunning. Fantabulous. Universal. And still so down to earth and cozy and pure.

Isn't life funny how we look back at the things that were in front of our faces and didn't understand or did nothing with.
It's OK it's high school you're never as cool as you think.
I grew up there as well this guy is my kin. So proud.
Norwalk, CT. Me too. Mr Cool
@edweber3041 I subscribed to your channel cause you love Horace and we are both born and raised in Norwalk Ct.
Horace Silver - piano
Blue Mitchell - trumpet
Junior Cook - tenor saxophone
Gene Taylor - bass
Louis Hayes - drums
thank you for sharing! this is MUSIC! immense -
Hotel=Trivago
Thank you.
Good to know one of the greats is still here with us. God bless Louis Hayes. Set the tone for so many of Horace's tunes.
Thanks - Gene Taylor is the one I did not Know.

I would have loved that, great experience
They didn't HAVE to wear suits they WANTED to. That was the style back then. It also reflects a seriousness and respect for the music.

Class and talent.

I will agree Blue Michell is on of the best trumpeter of his day BUT i wouldn't go as far saying he the Greatest. Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard will give him a run for his money.
Agreed
Blue is the best !!
The jazz world has lost its master today. RIP Horace Silver.
Horace Silver represents the hard bop genre well, which I love. The slower tempo and less complex melodies allow for deeper emotions to be conveyed through the instrumentation.
Nice to see audiences quiet and listening rather that trying to record this on their phones or jumping around.
Beautiful! Young, very alive, strong and brilliant, all of them.

Cooooo~~~~
Mr. Horace Silver is the master of the blues chords (with Mr. Theolonius Monk)
Horace Silver is heads above the madding crowd with his focus and intensity and so damn sweet it blows my mind back to yesterday when he was cooking with Junior and Blue; there is a joy that "smack's of a blues that soars and heads right up into the rare and toxic upbeat ether of making it happen...even on a blues.

Even with the low quality video, you can see the sweat dripping off his nose. Pure passion. RIP
Greasy Riff Jazz at it's Slickest !
It must have been a hot room they're all sweating profusely.
@@stuartpedaso2949 Its the lights, I think.
what a good feeling to have a good taste in music
beautiful music Horace Silver.Thanks
I have listened to Horace Silver since the 1960s🥂
me too...a GREAT era for jazz...went to so many concerts in Detroit...Horace..a real gentleman...
Astonishing. Just amazing.
R.I.P. to my favorite jazz musician of all time, Horace Silver
(2 September 1928 - 18 June 2014)
Horace-Siver's body may has left this world ....but his soul is JAMMMINNN...somewhere..
RIP my main man...

Of that generation of trumpet players, no one made the horn sound better than Blue Mitchell and Lee Morgan.
Blue Mitchel, unquestionably one of the greatest.
How many times can I hit the Like button? One Millions times!
One the finest Jazz songs I've ever heard.
MET Mr Silver while working at All State record we carried Blue Note record all ways a gentleman! I THANK him for the memories !
Wow...Sensual and soulfully brilliant
I've been infected with The Horace Effect for decades now since he first blew my mind. Always reaching for something fresh, surprising, and out of the ordinary. I feel his funky mischievous influence every time I set down to play. His spirit endures in every musician he affected so profoundly.
I could listen to Horace play all day 😍❤️
me too!
me too
what a composition!

Rest in Peace Mr. Horace Silver🕊️ Great musicians💪🏾🇨🇻
I can watch this over and over. Just fantastic!
This is the birth of the Soul .
Truly wonderful playing. Sensitive, sophisticated full of humanity. One of my all time favourite performances
RIP HORACE SILVER..LOVE YOU ALWAYS!
That’s my cousin. He was the first cousin of my great grandfather. God rest his soul. Rest In Peace, papa. ✊🏾🇨🇻
@@noah32295Nice to see sarcasm from 5 years ago. But I assure you he’s my blood.
I could listen to this composition over and over again non stop. I sometimes do. Horacio Silva, as tuas composicoes sao hipnoticas!
This is such a wonderful song. I keep listening to it over and over.
A giant of piano, composition, sound and so talented. He deserves much more recognition but the jazz and music in général amateurs know..
Horace thank you for the wonderful music you left us all
Brings back wonderful memories as my father would 'school us' about the JAZZ GREATs.....Horace Silver was definitely one of the THEM!! Awesome musicianship!! Cant help patting my feet! I love the way the movements flow and change!!!
caught this on WJRC tonight in Detroit...wanted to hear it again...the best...what a time for beautiful jazz....
Horace Silver a man born on the Cape Verde Islands, excellent pianist
My favorite jazz era, straight ahead!
Horace Silver's music feeds my soul. I also love his Song for My Father.
Hello Donna

When it comes to Jazz you experience it like me. You vocalise it só well.
I’ve recently discovered a masterpiece
I’m inspired as I once was as a kid all over again
I feel alive
It's such a pleasure to watch real musicians feel the music any here real music. Buy Michael fly Hall
These Cats were smoooth with it!
My great maestro Horace Silver bebop muzik! Greetings from Jazzman Kuala Lumpur.
RIP you wonderful person!
Man that is some laid back music!
It sounds so fresh still, 64 years later. It must have seemed like something very different at the time.
Wow! How did I miss these guys?❤️
This vidéo is a pure gem. Everything is just as it should be. These dudes seem to be in such a perfect osmosis. Their sound is both easy to get into and sophisticated, and Horace Silver's solo is absolutely mesmerizing. This is a first class jazz performance and my all time favourite.
These men are not "dudes", they are musical artists and American treasures. Please show some consideration.
@@pacz8114 did you read my comment, there is nothing but praise ?!
@@alexdpdl Calling such a gifted artist a "dude" is disrespectful.
You're right, "everything is just as it should be."
Horace is an absolute God
6:26 love this harmonic exploration in the middle of Mr. Silver's solo.
He's playing around In the Hall of the Mountain King by Grieg.
@@0live0wire0 minor version of "Ornithology" also
Horace and Company was--simply--one of the greatest ensembles. No serious jazz fan can probably resist, and pretenders need not apply.
THEY ARE ABSOLUTE BRILLIANCE, IN THIS PIECE.
I was fortunate enough to her Horace in night clubs in Southern California and in college I was playing Upright bass and I got to play with Drummer Louie Bellson

Young, strong, together, and quietly passionate. So thankful for the recording.

Best song ever
Truly gifted. Pleasure hardly describes it. A wonderful team.

Horace Silver is my FAVORITE composer! Can’t get enough of his stuff!!!!
Horace Silver, un grand maître de l'improvisation musicale ...
LE ROI du jazz-mélodique ET exotique??C’est ancien,mais tellement BON!!!🎶🎶🎶❤️👍💣
One of my fave cuts. Would that jazz still had that edge in the music biz. Blue Mitchell, a heavyweight who left too soon.
Ahead of his time, wish I knew of his music back then.
He wasn’t ahead of his time cause no one exceeded him
Such a wonderful sense of fluidity, effortlessness, and character. Their balance and harmony is so soothing & moving- I couldn't help but dance!
This is an outstanding performance of jazz music. Period.
RIP Horace... a true master.
what great music. Got Horace's autograph long ago in a health food restaurant here in NYC. The nicest guy!
This is recording studio quality in a live performance.
Is there anything more affecting than Horace's almost tender, even modest, introduction? Which would be in inverse proportion to his rhythmic confidence and daring.
Has to explain it to the all white audience.
*VIRTUOSITY*, AND:*HUMILITY*😌 what a *DELICIOUS* combination😌
And, ALMOST, a '*Contradiction, in Terms*"😮
But, "*MAESTRO*":
Pulls it ALL, TOGETHER:

What a JOY, to watch, and listen, to💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
This is just really great. the restraint during horace's solo is fantastic and makes the head all the more riveting.
Happy Birthday Blue!
OOh my god, i have not words to express my deep respect for these guys, Horace in prime. Killing me softly with this song.
Horace at his best
One of the all-time great musicians and composers of jazz, period. We've lost a giant. Rest In Peace.
But what a legacy we have!
Possible to lose ? right here, he's burnin it up

I'm 29 and I've always had an itch for Jazz and finally got into it. I came acoss this video and wow! I feel this song deep in my soul!
RIP, Mr Horace Silver..you were one of a kind,very special.
This Music Speaks To Me !! Thanks For The Post!!
Loving the clean and cool vibes! So simple, yet every member hits every little bit together.
