    Every jazz student knows Horace Silver as the composer of the ubiquitous bossa nova Song for My Father, a tune with an elegant simplicity that makes it ideal for beginning improvisers. But those who dig a little deeper into Silver’s extensive catalog will discover that he is one of the finest and most prolific jazz composers of any era. His tunes vary widely in style from hard-bop to bossa novas, modal ballads, bluesy funk, and beyond; what unifies them all is the consistently amazing quality. Drummer Jaz Sawyer and Horace-Scope celebrate Silver’s songbook as well as classics from the 1960s Blue Note Era that he helped define. Horace-Scope’s front line of saxophonist Danny Brown, trumpeter Joel Ryan, and trombonist Danny Grewen re-create Silver’s signature three-horn harmonies in all their swinging glory. The vitality, variety, and brilliance of the hard-bop era’s greatest musicians come alive in their spirited and loving tribute.
