Derel Monteith Presents The Early Music of Horace Silver

  • Trailside Event Center (map)

Horace Silver was the heart of the hard bop era, helping to form the influential Jazz Messengers and composing many blues and gospel-flavored songs that have become part of the jazz canon, including "Lonely Woman," "Song For My Father," "Señor Blues," "The Preacher," "Nica's Dream," and "Peace." His piano playing was heavily rhythmic, driving his musical colleagues to greater heights in their solos.

The Central Illinois Jazz Society invites you to celebrate and experience the early music of Horace Silver at a concert devoted entirely to his compositions. Derel Monteith (keyboards) will lead two bands, which will include Dan Burke (saxophone), Matt Buczko (trumpet), Scott Anderson (guitar), Andy Crawford (bass), and Jason Brannon (drums). Don't miss it!
