Sadly the great Jazz pianist Horace Silver died last month aged a good 85.
During his time on this planet he produced some of the most influential and infectious music of the last 65-years, utilising both Hard Bop and Latin styles to create a sound that became synonymous with Blue Note Records; who he exclusively worked for, for over 25-years (1952-79).

With the ability to compose music that was not only great as full length Jazz pieces; but could be equally effective as a ‘3-minute’ single tracks needed for Juke Box hits for Blue Note, he pioneered the classic trumpet/sax frontline tunes such as: The Preacher, Filthy McNasty, Sister Sadie, Doodlin’, Blowin’ The Blues Away, Nica’s Dream and probably his best remembered Song For My Father

So as a ‘Tribute to Horace Silver’ with trumpeter Andy Hague, we humbly offer tonight’s sets of music in dedication to the great man and his music, brought to you by Bristol finest and that essence of the Blue Note sound will be much in evidence, so come along and witness the music of one of the truly greats of Jazz, Horace Ward Martin Tavares Silva aka Horace Silver, for some truly toe-tapping, swinging, groove based, high energy Jazz, listening to the Styling’s of Silver with Silverado.
