I Don't Know Much About Jazz but I like ........ Paris Blues by Horace Silver

Like much of my Jazz I was introduced to Horace Silver by Chris when he played me Song for my Father the album that Silver is best known for.  The "song" itself has lived on in rock music with the opening being lifted by Steely Dan for Rikki Don't Lose that Number, and it also being raided by Stevie Wonder for Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing.

However the first Horace Silver I bought was Paris Blues - which I bought in a sale at Borders in Auckland for $7!  A real bargain.  A lively live set recorded in Paris featuring the wonderful and wonderfully titled Filthy McNasty - a good place to start listening to Mr Silver
