Sometimes referred to as the grandfather of jazz blues, funk, and/or hard bop Silver's music helped created within me a love for jazz. He will be missed as the jazz greats of yesterday don't appear to be being replaced as they die off. musashi Advanced Member Username: musashi Post Number: 214 Registered: 5-2004 Posted on Thursday, June 19, 2014 - 11:48 pm:    Yes. sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 3458 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Friday, June 20, 2014 - 12:09 am:    Horace Silver walks among the noble entities of creation eternally and shall never be forgotten.

I think that as one expands their knowledge of jazz, their appreciation for music deepens. And in my view, an outstanding place to start is Miles Davis' album, Kind of Blue from 1959. Through that door lies a rich and infinite world of musical exploration. peoplechipper Senior Member Username: peoplechipper Post Number: 433 Registered: 2-2009 Posted on Monday, June 23, 2014 - 11:07 pm:    Thank you, I will start there... smokinbear Intermediate Member Username: smokinbear Post Number: 195 Registered: 11-2008 Posted on Wednesday, June 25, 2014 - 10:44 pm:    Song for my father.... great tune.
