Performer: Horace Silver
Distributor: Gotham Distributing Corp. Notes: Greatest Hits is a budget-priced, seven-track selection of some of Horace Silver's best-known songs and crossover hits, and while there are plenty of essential items missing, it still functions as a good, affordable sampler, featuring such familiar cuts as "Senor Blues," "Song for My Father," "The Preacher," "The Cape Verdean Blues" and "The Jody Grind." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Pianist and composer Horace Silver was, along with Art Blakey, one of the primary instigators of the hard-bop jazz movement of the 1950s. Silver turned a limited piano technique to his advantage, welding simple but memorable phrases to driving, muscular rhythms, molding a style whose influence has only grown stronger with the years.
