Jazz owes him a huge debt of gratitude: He was a peerless composer of Hard Bop idiom; an inimitably funky pianist; and was an ace promoter of talented, young musicians. I loved how his songs always told a story.

Great record and the first time that I heard the great late Michael Brecker; it knocked my socks off. Here is an interesting glimpse into Horace Silver the bandleader and the making of that record according to Michael's brother Randy, also in the band: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kLr9MNoWJAM http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ-_WXES0qU http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yttc-i_vA8I
