When I listened to a jazz collection of Horace Silver I was able to understand what Jazz really is. All his soloists were great Jazz stars...I could understand everything they did. He's a real father of Hard Bop!

Horace Silver played with all my favourite instrumentalists, Art Blackey, Clifford Brown, Hank Mobley, etc. He's a real grandfather of HARD BOP!!!

Couldn't agree more, about Horace & Art, but definitely would include Cannonball & Brownie too

Max and Clifford's group would be up there with Art and Horace in the 1950s on the vanguard of the hard bop movement, but didn't have the longevity because of Clifford's early demise.

These vids make for good intros to the artists who make (I like to keep things in the present tense in a spirit of optimism) jazz the uniquely beautiful and artistic medium it is and continues to be. This one on Horace is particularly good, BTW. Oh, and just one more thing: no matter how “dense” modern jazz seemed to get, you could always still dance to it.

12:50 ironic considering how much has been made about how Steely Dan sued successfully for copying the opening of "Black Cow" in a long forgotten hip hop one hit wonder in 1991.

You mention the 1954 album "A night at Birdland" with Lou Donaldson "on tenor". But Lou actually played alto! It's one of the finest recording of all time. H.U.B., Switzerland

You know Horace probably didn't bother with the steely Dan Rikki Don't lose that number thing because it would have been a tough case because they're only using a baseline and it's a common baseline bass players use that rhythm all the time playing the 1 and 5 so that's why Horace probably left it alone

It may also be that Horace with his generous soul would consider it a compliment rather than theft.
