Show Description:
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."
