Song For My Father

"Song for My Father" was a milestone recording in the illustrious career of jazz pianist Horace Silver. Recorded through two sessions, a year apart, the album boasts an impressive line-up featuring Silver’s classic band and his newly formed quintet. The charismatic jazz man delivered his sophisticated balance of lively rhythms with complex harmonies. The title track, one of his most well known compositions, has transformed into a jazz standard and heavily influenced Steely Dan’s biggest pop hit, “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number”. This essential recording remains one of Blue Note’s greatest hard bop releases.
