Horace Silver: Die 25 größten Ikonen der Jazzgeschichte
Horace Silver biographie
Aus der Perspektive des 21. Jahrhunderts ist klar, dass nur wenige Jazzmusiker einen größeren Einfluss auf den zeitgenössischen Mainstream hatten als Horace Silver. Der Hard-Bop-Stil, den Silver in den 50er-Jahren prägte, ist heute vorherrschend und wird nicht nur von Überbleibseln einer früheren Generation gespielt, sondern auch von wuscheligen Musikern, die noch nicht geboren waren, als die Musik in den 60er-Jahren in Ungnade fiel und 70er Jahre.

Silvers frühester musikalischer Einfluss war die kapverdische Volksmusik, die er von seinem in Portugal geborenen Vater hörte. Später, nachdem er als Highschool-Schüler begonnen hatte, Klavier und Saxophon zu spielen, geriet Silver in den Bann von Blues-Sängern und Boogie-Woogie-Pianisten sowie von Popmusikern wie Thelonious Monk und Bud Powell.
1950 spielte Stan Getz ein Konzert in Hartford, Connecticut, mit einer Pickup-Rhythmusgruppe, zu der Silver, Schlagzeuger Walter Bolden und Bassist Joe Calloway gehörten. Getz war so beeindruckt, dass er das gesamte Trio engagierte. Silver hatte sein Geld sowieso gespart, um nach New York zu ziehen; Seine Einstellung durch Getz besiegelte den Deal.
Silver arbeitete ein Jahr lang mit Getz zusammen und begann dann, als Freelancer in der Stadt mit so großen Spielern wie Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young und Oscar Pettiford zu arbeiten. 1952 nahm er mit Lou Donaldson für das Label Blue Note auf; Dieses Datum führte ihn zu seinen ersten Aufnahmen als Bandleader. 1953 schloss er sich mit Art Blakey zusammen, um unter ihrer gemeinsamen Führung eine Genossenschaft zu gründen.

Das erste Album der Band, Horace Silver and the Jazz Messengers, war ein Meilenstein in der Entwicklung des Genres, das später als Hard Bop bekannt wurde. Viele der von Silver für diese Platte geschriebenen Stücke – „The Preacher“, „Doodlin“, „Room 608“ – wurden zu Jazzklassikern.
1956 hatte Silver die Messengers verlassen, um selbstständig Aufnahmen zu machen. Die darauffolgende Reihe von Blue-Note-Alben etablierte ihn für alle Zeiten als einen der bedeutendsten Komponisten/Pianisten des Jazz. LPs wie „Blowin’ the Blues Away“ und „Song for My Father“ (beide aufgenommen von einem Ensemble, zu dem auch Silvers langjährige Sidemen Blue Mitchell und Junior Cook gehörten) enthielten Silvers harmonisch anspruchsvolle und formal unverwechselbare Kompositionen für kleine Jazz-Ensembles.

Silvers Klavierstil – prägnant, einfallsreich und absolut funkig – wurde zum Vorbild für spätere Mainstream-Pianisten, die er nachahmen sollte. Einige der einflussreichsten Hornisten der 50er, 60er und 70er Jahre erlangten erstmals bei Silver eine gewisse Bekanntheit – Musiker wie Donald Byrd, Woody Shaw, Joe Henderson, Benny Golson und die Brecker Brothers spielten alle bei Silver Band zu einem frühen Zeitpunkt ihrer Karriere.
Horace Silver hat sogar Mitglieder der Avantgarde berührt; Cecil Taylor gibt zu, einen Silver-Einfluss zu haben, und der Trompeter Dave Douglas spielte kurzzeitig in einer Silver-Combo.
Horace Silver nahm exklusiv für Blue Note auf, bis dieses Label Ende der 70er Jahre in Vergessenheit geriet, woraufhin er sein eigenes Label, Silveto, gründete. Horace Silvers 80er-Jahre-Werke fanden nur geringe Verbreitung.
Während dieser Zeit begann er, Texte zu seinen Kompositionen zu schreiben, und seine Arbeit begann, sich mit den metaphysischen Kräften der Musik auseinanderzusetzen, wie Albumtitel wie „Music to Ease Your Disease“ und „Spiritualising the Senses“ zeigen. In den 90er Jahren gab Silver sein Label-Projekt auf und begann mit der Aufnahme für Columbia.
Mit seinem Wiederauftritt bei einem großen Label erhielt Silver erneut ein gewisses Maß an Aufmerksamkeit, die seine Beiträge verdienen. Sicherlich hat niemand jemals einen größeren und lebendigeren Bestand an Originalkompositionen zum Jazz-Kanon beigetragen. Silver starb am 18. Juni 2014 im Alter von 85 Jahren in New York.
Aus seiner Ehe mit Barbara, die mit einer Scheidung endete, hatte er einen Sohn, Gregory – heute Rap-Musiker unter dem Namen G Wise.
Horace Ward Martin Tavares Silver, Pianist und Komponist, geboren am 2. September 1928, gestorben am 18. Juni 2014.
