Horace Silver's The Stylings of Horace Silver

Video Tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RqqotDlkS8

Description: Horace Silver’s 1957 album *The Stylings of Horace Silver* catches the pianist-bandleader in full modern-jazz stride, yet its cover places him not in a smoky club but amid the polished glamour of The Rink at Rockefeller Center. The juxtaposition feels deliberate: cool, urbane hard bop set against Midtown’s sleek ice and towering art deco facades, as if the music itself were skating effortlessly through postwar New York sophistication. Standing here today, you can almost hear his crisp, blues-inflected lines echoing off the surrounding stone and glass. This Rockefeller Center viewpoint is one of the featured stops in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
