Horace Silver - Song For My Father (Blue Note Essentials)
Tax included.
Horace Silver’s Song For My Father stands as a high point in a catalogue rich with hard bop landmarks. Recorded across two sessions, it captures a shift in his quintet line-up while maintaining his unmistakable style.
The first tracks come from an October 1963 session with Blue Mitchell, Junior Cook, Gene Taylor, and Roy Brooks. A year later, Silver returned to Van Gelder Studio with a refreshed group featuring Carmell Jones, Joe Henderson, Teddy Smith, and Roger Humphries, producing the remainder of the album.
At its core is the title track ‘Song for My Father’, a tribute shaped by Silver’s Cape Verdean roots and the Brazilian music he encountered on his travels—an enduring piece that defines the record’s character and lasting appeal.
