Horace Silver is one of the few jazz greats who can fill whole evenings with his own songs, some of which are so well known that a non-specialist audience could hum along to them and jazz enthusiasts certainly recognise his big tunes: The Preacher, Doodlin', Song For My Father and Sister Sadie. He is regarded as one of the last living composers of jazz standards and one of the creators of a jazz style known in the 1950s as Hard Bop and in the Sixties as Soul Jazz. He is still an inspiration for jazz musicians and may be considered one of jazz's last big "beasts".
TDK presents a recording of a concert night in Orvieto where Horace Silver and his quintet were guests at the Umbria Jazz Festival in 1976. This carefully restored recording, made more than 25 years ago, captures a classic jazz night and pays tribute to a Jazz pianist who has enjoyed the reputation of a popular jazz composer over the last forty years.
The present DVD also closes a gap in Silver's recording history as it documents his favourite line-up - the quintet: "I prefer a small group. Jazz is improvisation and in a small group there is plenty of space for everyone to stretch out and blow. Also, a small group these days is far more practical. Large bands are nice to record with, but I wouldn?t want to work on the road with one."
Silver's 1970s quintet is now practically unknown as he never took this formation into the recording studio. "It's a fine group of musicians, and I'm very happy with them; we 're having a lot of fun. Rhythm, melody, harmony - all three are very important aspects of my music. Yes, I like the straight-ahead, swinging type of things, but, as you know, I ?m wrapped up in Latin rhythms and stuff, too. I try to always maintain my identity, my originality, and be true to myself, you know, but I keep an open mind and open ears. I search for all different type of influences."
His enthusiasm was justified. The lyrical Tom Harrell - now a worthy successor to the late, great Chet Baker, Miles Davis and Art Farmer - was already a great melody man in his early days with Horace Silver. With his quietly concentrated approach, he makes a wonderful contrast to the tenor player. Bob Berg's energy-packed playing in Orvieto is further proof of the great loss jazz suffered with his tragic accidental death in 2002. Eddie Gladden never officially recorded with Silver, but, as this recording proves, he very quickly made himself at home in the group, and laid down a great solo in Pursuit.
This recording documents an important aspect of Horace Silver's long musical career - his love of the quintet formation. Therefore, TDK presents these 25-year-old tapes even though the video quality of this film does not always conform to highest present-day DVD standards. Nonetheless, this recording can truly be regarded as a document of considerable value among Jazz recordings. |
