The Sunday sun at six pm is shining, everyone is so relaxed. Then Horace Silver and his quintet enter the stage on Bremen's market place. Breathtaking solos and multiple citations are to follow. One could see Horace smile while absorbing the lovely and peaceful atmosphere. He feels comfortable about performing here - it's his thing. Silver presents a selection of titles from his early Seventies albums 'In Pursuit of the 27th Man', 'Silver'n'Brass', and 'Silver'n'Voices'. And of course he closed the set with another rendition of one of his masterpieces, namely 'Song for My Father'. Hard bop with influences from soul jazz as well as African and Latin American music. The man is Silver, his music is Gold. Horace Silver died on June 18, 2014. Line-up: Horace Silver-piano, Tom Harrell-trumpet/flugelhorn, Larry Schneider-tenor sax, Chip Jackson-bass, Eddie Gladden-drums.
