Horace Silver: Horace Silver: Re-Entry
by John Ballon
Rare and essential live recordings that capture the great Horace Silver Quintet in action at New York City's Half-Note. Always a force to be reckoned with, Silver's mid-60s band was consistently adventurous, original, and funky, anchored in the steady rhythms of bassist Larry Ridley and drummer Roger Humphries, and steeped in the passion ...
A Fireside Chat With Horace Silver
by AAJ Staff
It's difficult for me to imagine hard bop without Horace Silver. It is impossible for me to imagine Blue Note without Horace Silver.

My Conversation with Horace Silver
by AAJ Staff
Horace Silver's popularity should be on the same level as the band that came up with the genius buzz word “nookie," but that would be a perfect world and for the time being I am content with having the honor of speaking with him about his stellar recording career (which is mammoth for all of you ...

Along with Art Blakey, Silver helped create what became known as the Blue Note sound. Swing era listeners ...

This is the classic Horace Silver Quintet. It existed and recorded here while Miles was between his two great quintets, just before Art Blakey recorded Caravan with Curtis Fuller and Wayne Shorter, and while John Coltrane was assembling his classic quartet. This concert takes place almost half way between Finger Poppin' With the Horace Silver Quintet ...
The Funk Transition
by AAJ Staff
Some time back a student of music, Chris, wrote to me an email, asking a very interesting question: “Why is it that some jazz musicians preferred to adopt funk instead of jazz-rock when the transition took place." There were more sub-queries, but this itself is a calls for a thesis, just as he was writing one. ...
Social Skills
by AAJ Staff
We, as a society, are rapidly losing all of our important social skills. I'm not talking about etiquette things, like which one is the salad fork. I'm talking about the skills needed to have any type of meaningful interaction with our fellow human beings. Things seem to be conspiring to keep us more and more isolated. ...
Dave Douglas: Moving the Music Forward

There aren't many artists who release records two at a time, but trumpeter Dave Douglas has done it already this year with Leap of Faith, a quartet date for Arabesque, and Soul On Soul, a sextet session for RCA Victor which pays tribute to the late pianist and composer Mary Lou Williams. On top of that, ...
