Horace Silver: The United States of Mind
by AAJ Italy Staff
L’identità peculiare del jazz degli anni Cinquanta, la freschezza di temi e riff, la capacità di intrecciare innovazione e recupero del linguaggio primario afroamericano: Horace Silver ha sempre interpretato queste tematiche con naturale autorevolezza. La sua inventiva non si offuscava nemmeno negli anni difficili, quando la musica popolare si specchiava nell’irruenza del rock e il mestiere ...
Horace Silver: Doin' the Thing
by AAJ Italy Staff
Cosa si può dire di intelligente e inedito su un disco come questo? Nulla o quasi, per quanti sforzi si facciano. Anche se non si tratta di una di quelle opere che hanno fatto la storia del jazz, dal punto di vista del linguaggio ci troviamo di fronte a un prototipo jazzistico, un'icona stilistica, un classico ...
Horace Silver: Doin' The Thing - At The Village Gate
by Hrayr Attarian
Calling any of Horace Silver's Blue Note recordings outstanding is almost redundant. One, however, is especially unique, not only because of its quality, but because it is the only live recording of his most famous quintet. Although it was recorded 45 years ago, this CD has the power to transport one back in time to the ...
The Horace Silver Quintet: Horace-Scope
by Samuel Chell
It's highly doubtful there's been a more instantaneously infectious recent release than this new Rudy Van Gelder edition of a 1960 Horace Silver master session. Without as much as a pickup note, the opening measure places the listener in stride with as irresistible a tune as Silver ever composed: “Strollin.'" The remaining pieces are no less ...

by Samuel Chell
Horace Silver has always been an effective, if limited, catch-phrase soloist, an exemplary hard bop accompanist, and a brilliant miniaturist as a composer, contributing pieces that continue to surface and surprise with their inventive, irresistible melodies and inviting harmonic progressions. Unfortunately, the popular and critical success Silver realized with 1964's Song for My Father led to ...

Horace Silver: Silver's Blue
by Jim Santella
Recorded in July of 1956, Silver's Blue expresses the true meaning of the blues. Hank Mobley, Donald Byrd, and Joe Gordon “sing out" with a spirit true to the form as pianist Horace Silver sculpts Jazz Messenger empathy from his quintets. Half of the session comes from the leader's composing pen, “Hank's Tune" comes ...
Blue Note Connoisseur: Andrew Hill, Larry Young, Horace Silver and more
by C. Andrew Hovan
When the first batch of Blue Note titles released under the new “Connoisseur" umbrella hit the stores in 1994, collectors were astounded by the news that the label would be undergoing a reissue campaign that would focus on the under appreciated gems that they had been looking to acquire for so long. In fact, this reviewer ...
