<p>Horace Silver was an American jazz pianist, composer, and bandleader. He was born on September 2, 1928, in Norwalk, Connecticut, USA and passed away on June 18, 2014 (at the age of 85) in New Rochelle, New York. Silver was a pioneer of the hard bop style of jazz during the 1950s and 1960s. He began his career by backing Stan Getz in Hartford before moving to New York City. Silver made his recording debut for Blue Note in 1952 and later formed a cooperative with Art Blakey. In the late '70s, he founded his own label called Silveto Records. Despite health problems in the '90s and being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2007, Silver continued to make music until his final studio recording for Verve in 1998.</p>

On his first Blue Note date since relinquishing The Jazz Messengers moniker to Art Blakey, Horace Silver struck gold with this sterling set of hard bop that introduced his indelible composition “Señor Blues”. The pianist was joined by an ace quintet featuring Donald Byrd on trumpet, Hank Mobley on tenor saxophone, Doug Watkins on bass, and Louis Hayes on drums. This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
