Horace Ward Martin Tavares Silver (September 2, 1928 \u2013 June 18, 2014) was an American jazz pianist, composer, and arranger, particularly in the hard bop style that he helped pioneer in the 1950s.<\/p>\n
After playing tenor saxophone and piano at school in\u00a0Connecticut, Silver got his break on piano when his trio was recruited by\u00a0Stan Getz\u00a0in 1950. Silver soon moved to New York City, where he developed a reputation as a composer and for his bluesy playing. Frequent sideman recordings in the mid-1950s helped further, but it was his work with\u00a0the Jazz Messengers, co-led by\u00a0Art Blakey, that brought both his writing and playing most attention. Their\u00a0Horace Silver and the Jazz Messengers\u00a0album contained Silver’s first hit, “The Preacher”. After leaving Blakey in 1956, Silver formed his own quintet, with what became the standard small group line-up of tenor saxophone, trumpet, piano, bass, and drums. Their public performances and frequent recordings for\u00a0Blue Note Records\u00a0increased Silver’s popularity, even through changes of personnel. His most successful album was\u00a0Song for My Father, made with two iterations of the quintet in 1963 and 1964.<\/p>\n
