First jazz spin ever Horace Silver, what next?

I purchased a large collection of LP's, mostly for the rock and audiophile pressings. Also as part of this collection is a group of 100 jazz LP's. I thought I would give one a spin and pulled out an original Blue Note of Horace Silver, the Stylings of...

I thoroughly enjoyed this LP! What other titles from Horace are worthy and what other artists/titles might I enjoy in the same vein as this LP?

Thanks

Stylings of Silver is a Blue Note. You didn't say what pressing it is, but I suggest you check the rest of your jazz LP's and try any other Blue Notes among them.

I really like Song For My Father & Sonny Rollins-Vol.2 which has Horace and Monk together on at least one track. If you come from a more rock background prepare to be shocked the first time you drop the needle on Song For My Father as Steely Dan lifted the entire melody and groove for their song Rikki Don't Lose That Number.

Got a late x-mas present from the wife. Horace's Further Explorations. Also excellent. Its the 200G Quiex vinyl. Nice pressing, especially compared to my W 63rd original which was cleaned with a lawn mower and sounds like one too.
