About this album
Song For My Father is one of Horace Silver’s defining albums, fusing hard bop drive with Latin jazz colour and the concise, memorable writing that made his quintet stand out. Recorded in 1964, it captures Silver at a peak of melodic invention, with the title track becoming his signature piece and one of modern jazz’s most recognisable themes. The album also showcases his gift for tune-building on pieces such as The Kicker and Que Pasa, balancing blues feeling, rhythmic snap and a distinctly soulful warmth. Its enduring reputation rests on how naturally it joins sophistication to immediate appeal.
