The early 1960s were a particularly good time for those who liked their jazz impulsive, swinging and melodic. Pianist Horace Silver was one of the prime movers in this cause, his urgent, rhythmic piano style complemented by his remarkable ear for a catchy tune. The evening will be a whistle-stop journey through the amazing output of this gifted pianist. Keeping with Horace’s favoured instrumentation of Sax, Trumpet and Rhythm, the quintet has, as its mission, to perform Silver's music with the correct degree of uninhibited passion. The band will be: PETE LONG, sax; RYAN QUIGLEY, trumpet; WILL BARRY, piano; SAM BURGESS, bass; and MATT SKELTON, drums.
