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.

Further Explorations documents hard-bop pioneer Horace Silver’s quintet featuring Art Farmer on trumpet, Clifford Jordan on tenor saxophone, Teddy Kotick on bass, and Louis Hayes on drums. One can always expect a Horace Silver date to groove, but this session from January 1958 is particularly inspired, with the pianist penning all but one of the compositions. The Outlaw is one of Silver’s most irrepressible creations with brilliant solos from Jordan, Farmer, and Silver. Moon Rays is what Silver referred to as a “walking ballad” that gives the band plenty of room to stretch out.

The Tone Poet series is produced by Joe Harley and features all-analog, 180g audiophile vinyl reissues that are mastered from the original master tapes by Kevin Gray of Cohearent Audio. Tone Poet vinyl is manufactured at RTI in Camarillo, California, and packaged in deluxe Stoughton Printing “Old Style” Gatefold Tip-On Jackets.
