The song makes me think of listening to my fathers playing his jazz records. The album cover looks like my grandfather - from the hat to the attitude. I will be playing this on fathers day. Thanks for posting this.

This jazz band at my school is going to perform this song! I have to play the piano solo!!!

Horace Silver is an attitude, of what is use to be, It's a photo of what was use to be but what a band can be now, a band that can move in front of a public. Play some Horace Silver with a band of young musiciens in front of an audience and they will be proud of the sound they can produce. To them it's not Silver it's gold.

This entire album is marvelous. Horace Silver has a lot of screen time in the documentary "A Great Day In Harlem." Everyone should check it out!

Horace Silver Quintet and Jon Hendricks - The preacher - Berlin 1968by aparxa35,126 views
This song is most definitely funky bop, not hard bop (in the description). Hard bop was much more aggressive (think "Giant Steps" - Coltrane, or "Mayreh" - Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers). Hard bop is also typically a lot quicker in tempo and had complex melodies and harmonic progressions. While Horace Silver did play/compose hard bop (on piano in "Mayreh"), this isn't really a good example of it, This is much simpler, with the Latin-style straight 8ths, and the blues/gospel improv. :D

@schmanarchy As written in the description the tune is a bossa nova. The album however is a hard bop album. Thank you for listening.
