Serenade for Horace
(Blue Note)
WHEN the “Hardbop Granpa” Horace Silver died in 2014, the drummer who was an essential part of his most famous recorded sessions for the Blue Note label between 1956 and 1959, Louis Hayes, had a deep compulsion to create a memorial album in the true spirit of his old piano maestro.
Silver, of Cape Verdean heritage, was born in Norwalk, Connecticut, in 1928.
