Horace Silver
Horace Silver (born Horace Ward Martin Tavares Silva, September 2, 1928 – June 18, 2014) was an American jazz pianist and composer. He is known for his distinctive playing style and pioneering compositional contributions to hard bop.
==Early life==
Silver was born on September 2, 1928, in Norwalk, Connecticut.〔 His mother, Gertrude, was from Connecticut; his father, John Tavares Silver, was born on the island of Maio, Cape Verde, and emigrated to the United States as a young man. She was a maid and sang in a church choir;〔 he worked for a tire company. Horace had a much older half-brother, Eugene Fletcher, from his mother's first marriage, and was the third child for his parents, after John, who lived to 6 months, and Maria, who was stillborn. According to Horace's account, his father's surname was originally Silva, but was changed upon marriage to Silver, while his own baptismal name was Horace Ward Silver, which then had his father's middle name added, as well as Martin upon his Catholic confirmation, making him Horace Ward Martin Tavares Silver. Another account is that John was born João Tavares Silva, but changed the spelling of the family name to Silver after Horace's birth.
Silver began playing the piano in his childhood and had classical music lessons. His father taught him the folk music of Cape Verde. At the age of 11 Silver became interested in becoming a musician, after hearing the Jimmie Lunceford orchestra. Silver's early piano influences included the styles of boogie-woogie and the blues, the pianists Bud Powell, Art Tatum, Teddy Wilson, Nat "King" Cole, and Thelonious Monk, as well as some jazz horn players. From ninth grade Silver played tenor saxophone in the Norwalk High School band and orchestra, influenced by Lester Young. He played gigs locally on both instruments while still at school. Around 1946 Silver moved to Hartford, Connecticut to take up a regular job as pianist in a nightclub.
