horace silver trio ( 1952 )
b. Horace Ward Martin Tavares Silva, 2 September 1928, Norwalk, Connecticut, USA. Silver studied piano and tenor saxophone at school, settling on the former instrument for his professional career. Early influences included Portuguese folk music (from his father), blues and bop. He formed a trio for local gigs which included backing visiting musicians. One such visitor, Stan Getz, was sufficiently impressed to take the trio on the road with him in 1950.

The result is cool 50s vocal Jazz in the setting of an excellent piano trio. The line up includes Pat Moran (Vocals and piano), Bev Kelly (vocal), John Doling (vocal and bass) & Johnny Whited (vocal and drums). Tracks include “I Should Care”, “Have You Met Miss Jones”, “Sunday Kind of Love” & “Pick Yourself Up.”
