did you in mentioned survey also have a chance listening to Anne Queffelec`s Satie recordings from the late eighties for Virgin ?

- still for a completely different perspective on Satie appreciate Ciccolini`s EMI performances too.....

Sister Sadie - a true CLASSIC !

Bill Hardman was part of a 1968 LIVE band (remember there is footage available via the net) , but believe he never recorded with Horace Silver........

A gifted songwriter - RIP

In 1969 the Horace Silver Quintet with the Brecker brothers and Billy Cobham were part of a package with the Muddy Waters Blues Band and a gospel group (Stars of Faith?) which I saw at the Batley (near Leeds) Variety Club, of all places. Couldn't get enough of the Silver band, so followed them to London and saw them at Scott's a couple of days later. Sat right up front for one of the most memorable jazz sessions I've been at. Horace and and Billy really had somethin' goin'! All very different from the studio atmosphere of Blue Note Records. Must have been a great experience for sure......

Just as of now : Horace Silver "Song For My Father" on Austria Classical Music Station Oe1.....it`s telling that the next track played is (same key) Bach`s Präludium........
