Horace Silver - Song For My Father (1996)

[@dennismccarthy8118]

I posted this song on the other day as a tribute to my father, who passed a year ago. I got my love of Jazz music from him.

[@user-qc6nt8vy7f]

My Dad would have loved this as well.

Horace Silver remains one of the giants and geniuses of the jazz forever. Song For My Father remains one of the masterpieces not only of jazz but of ETERNAL MUSIC.

[@michelebarile6218]

No doubt! 👍

[@mamokosazamtro4418]

Horace's solo. So many remarkable motives !

[@MrKelly-ll1lx]

That solo was epic 😀👍🏽

[@bunskilabonskiwashtubfun9841]

Calling this tune at the next jazz jam! Exceptional music, timeless, does not get any better.

[@lindatauhid9958]

I remember purchasing my vinyl copy of this masterpiece sometime during my college years in the 60’s in downtown Boston. It has always stayed with me.

My great maestro bebop Horace Silver! Greetings from Jazzman Kuala Lumpur.

This little song for my father Does things that no other Can do As I sing it to you It has a rhythm and a rhyme That will fasten his memory In time As his beauty shines through For through my mind and soul My heart will always hold A special place for him It's true We bow our heads and we pray Every day Father's Day And let's review All that he means to you Our mother's love is real nice But old Dad sacrificed For us too Let us give him his due We're very proud to be In his biography We sing this song for him And you, you, you, you

What a sax player!❤

[@hcharton5722]

I believe that is the great Ron Stout on trumpet.

[@user-qc6nt8vy7f]

That PIANO!!!! OH MY GOODNESS!

[@beverlymaiden3346]

This is real music!

[@panigami]

This is my father’s fav piece who’ve already passed away. Thanks for posting🙏

[@cameronmaguire5832]

3:50, sounds it turns towards Cap Verdean Blues.

[@martinmendelsberg2246]

Brilliant.

[@perr.b.hoiness1027]

Many Quotations: In This Version , Eden Ahbez: Nature Boy among many Others !

[@TallDocK]

Yes, Nature Boy insert was sweet!!

[@AlethiaReborn]

This was not at Montreux, this was at Montreal 1996. Théâtre Maisonneuve, Montreal, QC. Mr Silver never appeared in Montreux. Still the best of his performances we ever seen!

[@yyrm8321]

It is in Montreux, it's written on the curtain behind.

[@stevecatanzaro974]

It's Montreux, the band is The Horace Silver Septet:- Ron Stout, trumpet; Steve Baxter, trombone; Doug Webb, tenor sax; Phil Vieux, baritone sax; Horace Silver, piano; Bob Maize, acoustic double bass; Harold Mason, drums.

[@duotippss]

Bien sur c'était à Montreux, on le voit sur l'affichage au fond de la scène. Ce n'était pas en 1996 car le premier Montreux Jazz Festival débutait en 1967. J'y avais joué le premier jour en quartet.

[@mrbluestrek1]

Doug webb : Superbes phrasés ça joue terrible !

[@RC_Cola2020]

His right hand piano technique is unusual. Very little use of the 4th and 5th finger. Mostly using the elbow and wrist for articulation, instead of the fingers.

[@annapluskota3247]

💗

[@thommccarthy1139]

Awesome performance the head sounds weird without that little triplet but that's what I have the album for

[@arkadiyfedotov395]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@johnl.2314]

Sax player didn’t do a bad job of sounding like JOE Henderson got to give him some credit

[@KSmall109CAB]

Joe Henderson with a pinch of Pharaoh Sanders I suppose. Maybe a tad of Junior Cook as well. And a lot of originality as well.

[@MichaelAusserbauer]

It's Doug Webb, a great player.

[@winstonwolfe5733]

@@KSmall109CAB true. and that's by far not a bad cimbination 😊

[@batya6428]

It won’t play for some reason.

[@JazzSnail123]

Nature Boy at 9:38!

[@MrRTH10]

Anyone know who the tenor player is?

[@Edspillanemusic]

LA studio sax master Doug Webb

[@JanKlincewicz]

That's Doug Webb. Man of a thousand woodwind. Google "El Cerdo Gordo."

[@Skipperj]

Left out the triplets in the top of the tune? Well, Horace wrote it so he can do it anyway he says!

[@rosseadie6894]

Yes that was different. Made me think for a moment I've been playing it incorrectly

[@rosseadie6894]

I believe jazz is always in flux & open to interpretation

[@rodneyhendrix1014]

Almost sounded like some Calcutta Cutie towards the end

[@johnl.2314]

At one point towards the end it sounded a little bit like nature boy OMO

[@winstonwolfe5733]

the arpeggios?

[@aymentfifha5699]

No comparaison betwen this drummer💨😁and billy cobham who is the master 🥁✌🎼

[@otimmo]

The tenor solo was aight, but Joe is a tough act to follow.
