You recall Emmon's version of the Preacher on the Steel Guitar Jazz album.

It looks like it is a false story. All links have been removed.

Horace's son has confirmed that Horace Silver is alive and well.

Oh my. Just one day after the same thing with Ray Price... Sad

Drew, maybe change the title of this thread, or ask b0b to delete?

Unfortunately it looks like Mr. Silver IS now gone... as of yesterday.

It is sad to learn of the passing of another legend. I've always liked Horace Silver's music, his piano playing, and his approach to composition. He came from the sometimes unforgiving and technically edgy background of hard bop (he was known as the inventor of hard bop piano) that always informed his very accessible, almost "pop jazz" of the times, music. I think that little edge of harmonic sophistication really made his songs interesting to listen to and fun to play. And most important, his music had heart.
