My Horace Silver moment came in the early 60's (my son, who in his own right was a natural reed player, just read my post and said, "Pops, you fucked up, it was back in the 60's not the 90's - which I initially typed) I was in high school living on West 100th street and continously listened to his " Song for my Father" album which was recently released. I had heard rumors that Horace lived nearby and one day as I was heading down on the elevator, it stops, I step back to make room for the the next rider and Mr. Silver walks in. After I regained my composure I began humming what else but, "Song for my Father". He twirls around with a huge smile and loud laugh and hugs me, almost lifting me off my feet. It may not have been memorable for Horace but to this day I cherish the connection. RIP Mr. Horace Silver. And thank you to all those who appreciated that moment.

I never get tired of hearing this. I particularly like the trumpet solo from Bill Hardman. He was just another in a very long list of underappreciated talents. But he could blow with the best of 'em. I'd put him against Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, Booker Little, and Donald Byrd any ol' day of the week and feel fairly certain that he'd come out on top. No one could outplay him.

Same here, my father raised me on jazz & WSDM radio in Chicago. This is our song! We have others but this is the one he communicates to me most often from the grave to tell me he's listening & here for me! It turns up at the most unexpected moments, in grocery stores, elevators, rare ocassions on the radio, doctors offices on the muzak. My father was a great drummer and taught me intonation when I sing. He was one of a kind and the life of the party. I miss him so. I feel closer to him whenever this song pops up! Great musicianship & interpretation!

I agree. As I sit here listening here in the United States. My Father has been ill over the last year. This song came to mind. I only saw Horace Silver once at a Jazz festival here. It's been about 35 years since I toured Europe as a young man. Music took me there. Playing saxophone, I visited 7 countries in 7 weeks. I learned of Denmark's love for Jazz when I discovered Jan Gabarek, Keith Jarrett, and other ECM artists. I would like to visit there someday.

White musicians would hang out, listen, and jam with black musicians. Took some time to get these cats the recognition they deserved. So glad to see this group play

I'm not primarily a jazzer, but I am an "appreciator" of any music with guts and soul. This song has always appealed to me, along with Cannonball Adderly's stuff, Sonny Rollins "St Thomas" et al. It seems to me that when bop took a left turn from singable melodies and dance tempos, to create music for solely for "musicians", Jazz cut off its nose to spite its face, and it has never regained popular appeal. I hear that today less than 1% of public buys jazz, that is a pity. America's non-commercial musics are often the most heartfelt, I find. I'd like to see jazz increase in our public consciousness.

MrMusicguyma as (somewhat of) a musician I find the fact that there's a whole genre dedicated to my "kind" very interesting. This "musician's music" been very important for my improvement and also, most of the time, quite fun listening. Also I dont think it's strictly for musicians, just because it's sometimes not too melodic doesn't mean the "average" man cannot understand it. I give much credit to non-musicians... They can appreciate the more "hard core" jazz no less then any pro.

But the public (and commercial powers such as radio networks who could have disseminated more kinds of music) cut off its their own nose with the lack of support for jazz, and for music education in general, thereby losing much chance for the public to develop a better 'ear' for listening. Contrast that with many European countries, Taiwan, Japan, etc. There is a great deal of jazz (not all) that you might consider more abstract than the above hard bop, but which nevertheless has guts and soul. It just has more complex forms, harmonies, and soloing. There are many masterpieces of classical music of the 20th and 21st centuries that might to the general public be in the same dilemma but which received enough support to be preserved. There is room for both.

I ran across the LP mentioned above in my collection about a year ago. This remains one of my favorite Jazz tunes. I was only 19 years when I purchased that LP. I'm 72 years old now. I only found the live 1968 Copenhagen performance on KZbin about 8 months ago. What a fantastic performance. Most notable is the increased tempo in the Copenhagen performance and the incredible drummer Billy Cobham who drove the hell out of the tune in the Copenhagen performance.

I'll never forget hanging out with Horace at a gig in Washington, D.C. I think bassist Harvie Swartz was playing that gig with him; Harvie was like an older brother who turned me on to some phenomenal players and music. I was 14, sitting at the bar with Horace, drinking Tequila Sunrises, he's got a smile that lights up the room, very congenial cat he was. My father was a greatly respected and accomplished jazz bassist who also had a huge Blue Note record collection..... some of it was a bit more outside than I preferred, but when this was released in mid-60's I couldn't get enough of this song :) I was leader of a Latin-inspired classic rock, reggae, Motown band..... we loved playing this song, sometimes woven among other such Latin-edged songs. thanks for sharing this great video. I'd NO idea Billy Cobham was so prolific prior to Mahavishnu!

My Daddy told me to get a Hot Toddy for my cold ... something I grew hearing but never tasted.. but I thought I would give it a try... He sent me the recipe and so I found myself searching town for a "Package store" - not my normal routine... but as I walked into this store filled with all sort of .... I found myself mesmerized by what was playing in the store... Horace Silver - Song for My Father. I had never heard it before but I could not leave the store without asking the owner who the artist was... I notice myself melting like butter just listening to this short piece.. I had to have more.. I just came home to search for it on KZbin... WOW! What a way to complete my day... Good childhood memories of my daddy playing jazz and blues on Sunday mornings...a family recipe for a Hot Toddy to knock out my cold and a song from Horace Silver - dedicated to his father that sends me to Moon (to temporarily forget my troubles) and back again... What a moment in time for me! Thank Horace... and thanks to MY DADDY! I dedicate this song to You!Love you!Baby Gurl E~!

I've called myself a drummer since age five. My DaD made his living as a percussionist. I always loved Billy Cobham's fusion groove. His work on CTI was incredible. When his OWN band played my little college he had the Brecker Brothers with him. I was the photographer for the newspaper so I was back stage a yard or so from Mr. Cobham. After the show I met and interviewed him. What a powerful and serene presence. When I saw this I didn't recognize Mr. Cobham at first. Once I realized who it was I put down the razor blade. One can only celebrate skills and discipline like this. What a champion. (nice bunch of fellas with him too)

One of the first jazz pieces I ever heard, which left an indelible mark deep to me; this, when I was in jr. high school, already drawn to jazz, and this title never left my consciousness -- Song for My Father... listeners adored Horace Silver so much, a time when I got onto kats like Jackie Maclean and so many others, stretching from jazz of the 1930's and onward. Time would be some years later when I got onto Charlie Parker -- but he was Maclean, a Bird protege, from whom I first heard a saxophone speak in ways and terms that one just does not hear anywhere but in Jazz, and somehow I understood every word he was saying! Then holio I hear Charlie Parker and boom -- my ears were born again.
