"When Horace Silver once wrote out his rules for musical composition (in the liner notes to the 1968 record, Serenade to a Soul Sister), he expounded on the importance of "meaningful simplicity." The pianist could have just as easily been describing his own life. For more than fifty years, Silver has simply written some of the most enduring tunes in jazz while performing them in a distinctively personal style. It's all been straightforward enough, while decades of incredible experiences have provided the meaning."
The Silver Pages is an historical exploration of legendary composer Horace Silver, documenting his 145 sessions, awards and musical publications.
