Horace Silver's 6 Pieces of Silver

Video Tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thYuf1va7YE

Description: Horace Silver’s 1957 album *6 Pieces of Silver* catches the pianist-composer at the moment hard bop is catching fire, and the cover image feels like a candid street prelude to the music inside. Shot along Central Park West at West 77th Street, the photo frames Silver in the city’s everyday bustle, as if he’s just stepped out from a club set to grab some air before heading back to the bandstand. The mood is relaxed but alert, mirroring the sly hooks and soulful grooves that would become his signature. Track it down at Map-4A/Grid-2A as one of the stops in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
