As one of the younger pianists in the Blue Note stable, Horace Silver displays energy and confidence to match his nimble finger work on the keys. While his horn-obsessed peers were focused on solos, Silver is all about feel. He has the confidence to luxuriate in pauses, letting single notes hang in the air as long as the supporting groove is right. The possessor of a remarkable ear, he can say it all with just a few chords or a single repeated note: the high style of a man who wears songs like fine-cut clothing.
