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.
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 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!
I don't usually write comments... I discovered this video about 10 years ago or more....and since then, I've returned here hundreds of times, to watch it and listen to it as if it were the first time.... It's an absolute gem, talent, art, respect, "tempo", a wonderful clockwork machine that marks each beat to perfection, several geniuses together, creating "magic"! They always captivate me, surprise me, and leave me stunned, speechless.... They act inside, like a "medicine".... The immense and profound power of cosmic messengers! Thank you for sharing it and may it never disappear from this platform!
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 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 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.
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.
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.

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.
OMG! ......the music was good then. I am so glad to have been around then and playing and listening and talking to all the guys ....the music scene was magical! You could walk into a half dozen spots on Broadway, NYC and hear music like this being performed night...after night....after night. I sure as hell miss it!!!
Horace's piano solo is brilliant. It stopped me in my tracks. I played it through twice. Thank the heavens that somebody filmed this performance and that it is available. Damn right they are professors! Each musician here is showing exactly how it is to be done. But Horace's solo is a gem!
+Mark Straka Hi Mark --- for years and years I wrote Horace Silver off as a cool composer and (very) mediocre pianist. This video really proved me wrong. What great taste he has. I need to check out more of Horace's recordings. Not sure why I've avoided him all these years, but I'm glad to see this performance. I agree with you big time. Thanks, and blessings to you.
+Jim Hendricks I know what you mean about "writing off" people for years. Sometimes it's the genre or style that puts one off. Then, one day you listen in a nonjudgmental frame of mind, and something gets through to you. I did this with Chet Baker. Now, I can't stop listening to his trumpet/flugelhorn lines in awe. You are right: it is a matter of taste in the artist, their wisdom and musical instincts, and not necessarily technical prowess.
That's great - funny that I always loved Chet Baker and loathed Horace Silver, and am coming around to love him, and you didn't like Chet Baker and now can't you stop listening to him! Thanks for your response, and blessings to you, Mark.
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!
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.
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.
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
An outstanding performance of the Horace Silver classic. Interesting that Silver used the flat-finger Horowitz approach with his left hand and raised-fingers with his right hand. Thank you for this film.
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😀
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.
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.
HEAVY

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.

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.

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
How many times can I hit the Like button? One Millions times!
Mr. Horace Silver is the master of the blues chords (with Mr. Theolonius Monk)
Nice to see audiences quiet and listening rather that trying to record this on their phones or jumping around.

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.

Blue is the best !!
amazing!!!!
The jazz world has lost its master today. RIP Horace Silver.

Beautiful! Young, very alive, strong and brilliant, all of them.
Hello Carol
Horace-Siver's body may has left this world ....but his soul is JAMMMINNN...somewhere..
RIP my main man...
Rest in Peace Mr. Horace Silver🕊️ Great musicians💪🏾🇨🇻
Horace thank you for the wonderful music you left us all

Horace Silver a man born on the Cape Verde Islands, excellent pianist

caught this on WJRC tonight in Detroit...wanted to hear it again...the best...what a time for beautiful jazz....
terrific. thanks.
Wow! How did I miss these guys?❤️
Truly wonderful playing. Sensitive, sophisticated full of humanity. One of my all time favourite performances
Thank you & Thankful 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is such a wonderful song. I keep listening to it over and over.
This Music Speaks To Me !! Thanks For The Post!!
Can't even say anything.. Just amazing!!!
RIP HORACE SILVER..LOVE YOU ALWAYS!
My favorite jazz era, straight ahead!
Thanks to this tune and this tune alone, I marked today as the day that Jazz spoke to me and made sense. #thankyou :-)
One of my fave cuts. Would that jazz still had that edge in the music biz. Blue Mitchell, a heavyweight who left too soon.
R.I.P. to my favorite jazz musician of all time, Horace Silver
(2 September 1928 - 18 June 2014)

Good music., I really enjoyed it.,
Great music, Great Musicians The joy of great Jazz Music
Outstanding!
Young, strong, together, and quietly passionate. So thankful for the recording.

MET Mr Silver while working at All State record we carried Blue Note record all ways a gentleman! I THANK him for the memories !
I can watch this over and over. Just fantastic!
Horace is an absolute God
These Cats were smoooth with it!
Man that is some laid back music!
Horace's piano solo is brilliant. It stopped me in my tracks. I played it through twice. Thank the heavens that somebody filmed this performance and that it is available. Damn right they are professors! Each musician here is showing exactly how it is to be done. But Horace's solo is a gem!

OOh my god, i have not words to express my deep respect for these guys, Horace in prime. Killing me softly with this song.
One the finest Jazz songs I've ever heard.
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.
A million thank yous to whom ever shared this fantastic slice of Americana .....
BRAVO ...!
A giant of piano, composition, sound and so talented. He deserves much more recognition but the jazz and music in général amateurs know..
Amazing
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!
real brothers
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.
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."
I could listen to Horace play all day 😍❤️
me too!
me too
deep and p[owerful!!! thank you mr. silver and all the great musicians!!!
I’ve recently discovered a masterpiece
I’m inspired as I once was as a kid all over again
I feel alive
Chef-d'oeuvre du JAZZ américain...
Merci !

It's such a pleasure to watch real musicians feel the music any here real music. Buy Michael fly Hall
I could listen to this composition over and over again non stop. I sometimes do. Horacio Silva, as tuas composicoes sao hipnoticas!
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.

I love this! Blue Mitchell getting it, Horace and junior are all beasts!
Thank you Horace for all your beautiful music. R.I.P
This is the birth of the Soul .
Fantastic Fabulous Wonderful
incredible and beautiful
One of the Greats. Will be missed. :-(
This is recording studio quality in a live performance.
Horace Silver's music feeds my soul. I also love his Song for My Father.

@@noah32295Nice to see sarcasm from 5 years ago. But I assure you he’s my blood.
Loving the clean and cool vibes! So simple, yet every member hits every little bit together.
Damn!... These jazz masters just blow me out to mars somewhere... I don't care where... just somewhere where it's peaceful... 🕸🌹
What a cool unique take int he blues! I dig it!!
Ahead of his time, wish I knew of his music back then.
He wasn’t ahead of his time cause no one exceeded him
Truly gifted. Pleasure hardly describes it. A wonderful team.
This is an outstanding performance of jazz music. Period.
a lot of nostalgia and fun
LOVE HORACE, FOREVER. ALOHA, EVERYONE,. HAVE A AMAZING NEW YEAR. THIS SONG IS DONE BRILLIANTLY.

My great maestro Horace Silver bebop muzik! Greetings from Jazzman Kuala Lumpur.
LE ROI du jazz-mélodique ET exotique??C’est ancien,mais tellement BON!!!🎶🎶🎶❤️👍💣
This is beyond sublime! Horace's piano can talk!
This is just really great. the restraint during horace's solo is fantastic and makes the head all the more riveting.
I'd "like" this a million times... Did they know how unique this is while they were playing it?
Horace Silver is my FAVORITE composer! Can’t get enough of his stuff!!!!
RIP Horace... a true master.
This is music....beyond most other music.

When it comes to Jazz you experience it like me. You vocalise it só well.
