Horace Silver - Silver's Blue (+1 Bonus Track) (Limited Edition)

Legendary pianist and composer Horace Silver
was influenced by a wide range of musical styles,
notably gospel, African, and Latin American
music. He also occasionally ventured into the
soul jazz genre. Even if he had been working on
and off for that label since 1952, Silver would
record exclusively for Blue Note after 1956,
eventually becoming close to the label’s boss,
Alfred Lion, who allowed him greater input on
aspects of album production than was usual at
the time. Silver’s Blue, taped for the Epic label,
was to be the last LP the pianist cut before
signing that contract and his first as a leader
after leaving Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers.
