About Horace Silver and The Jazz Messengers
See also the same band under http://www.last.fm/music/Art+Blakey+&+The+Jazz+Messengers Horace Silver (born 1928) is an American jazz pianist and composer. He formed the quintet Horace Silver and the Jazz Messengers with Art Blakey in 1955 for a studio album recorded on the Blue Note label, and used that band name throughout his career. Silver and this band helped to create the rhythmically forceful branch of jazz known as 'hard bop', which combined elements of rhythm-and-blues and gospel music with jazz. The original lineup consisted of Art Blakey (drums), Kenny Dorham (trumpet), Hank Mobley (tenor saxophone), Horace Silver (piano) and Doug Watkins (bass). This is also the name of the first album released by this band on the Blue Note label in 1955.
