Music reviews of Song for My FatherMusic Review: This Silver is solid gold
Before I got really serious about jazz, I'd read an article in the Wall Street Journal that suggested five "must have" jazz recordings. One of them was Blowin' the Blues Away by a guy I had never heard of, Horace Silver. (Like I said, I wasn't serious about jazz at the time.) I picked up Blowin' and found the work impressive and inspirational. Silver became one of my jazz beacons. Soon after, in order to make more informed jazz music purchases, I picked up The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings: Eighth Edition and set my sail by their "Core Collection", which included Blowin'. I noticed also their crown collection, which included this CD, so when I had the chance to pick this up for three bucks (music club closeout), I did. I have to say, SFMF is a really wonderful recording, and even with as much play as I've gotten out of Blowin', I think SFMF is going to be a "go to" disk for a long time. The Latin flavor is sensational, but delicate, managing to deftly balance the jazz aspects with the Latin influence without letting one sublimate the other. The bands' (there are two of them plus a trio) executions are fluid and flawless, and Silver's blues tinged piano is bright but inconspicuous throughout, a pivotal piece in the group that serves to drive the song down the road from the navigator's chair without grabbing the steering wheel. Every song is just delightful to listen to. As usual, the Rudy Van Gelder edition is clean and crisp, and as usual, Blue Notes provides original and updated liner notes with this edition, a plus that I've come to expect and always appreciate. The night before I first listened to this (although I'd heard some of the songs before), I had slept only two hours, and I was very drowsy and irritable after a twelve hour day at work when I put the CD on. I was sure I would just drift off to sleep anyway. But actually, as tired as I was, the music kept me interested and awake, as well as soothed and relaxed. I listened to it three times running. I daresay no other CD in my collection (nearly 200 jazz titles now) has ever done that. As far as I'm concerned, Silver takes the gold. This CD is great and will not disappoint any jazz fan, heavy or light.
