Horace Silver
Day 81
#26 – Horace Silver (b.1928), born Horace Ward Martin Tavares Silva. American jazz pianist and composer. Albums include: Horace Silver Trio (1953), Blowin’ the Blues Away (1959) and Song For My Father (1964).
Silver was proficient in Portugese – his father was from Cape Verde. I liked the idea of playing on his name – printing Silver in the Portugese colours.
