2010 MUSIC MATTERS, 2LP, 45RPM, 180G VIRGIN VINYL, CATALOG NUMBER MMBST-84185, SOLD-OUT LIMITED EDITION OF 2,500 COPIES, RECORDED BY RUDY VAN GELDER, MASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL ANALOG BLUE NOTE TAPE AND PRESSED AT RTI, CAMARILLO, CA.
"AS A PIANIST, COMPOSER AND BANDLEADER, HORACE SILVER PRACTICALLY ORIGINATED AND CERTAINLY WAS THE SYMBOL OF FUNKY JAZZ. HIS PLAYING LOOKED BEYOND BUD POWELL TO CHURCH MUSIC, THE BLUES AND HIS CAPE VERDE MUSICAL HERITAGE. SILVER'S SONGS WERE CATCHY, SOULFUL AND CONSISTENTLY STUCK IN ONE'S MEMORY. AND HIS BANDS, FEATURING A TRUMPET AND TENOR FRONT LINE, ALWAYS HAD A SOUND THAT WAS DEFINITIVE OF HARD BOP."
"BUT EVEN SILVER'S STRING OF BRILLIANT RECORDINGS FOR BLUE NOTE, "SONG FOR MY FATHER" STANDS APART FROM THE REST. THE TITLE CUT BECAME A MUCH COVERED STANDARD AS SOON AS THIS RECORD WAS RELEASED, JOE HENDERSON'S "THE KICKER" ALSO CAUGHT ON, AND EVERY SELECTION (INCLUDING SILVER'S PASSIONATE BALLAD "LONELY WOMAN") IS FILLED WITH HORACE SILVER'S CHARM, WIT AND SOUL. NO MUSIC COLLECTION IS COMPLETE WITHOUT THIS JAZZ CLASSIC."
