Brilliant take on Horace, Bret! One of my regrets is never seeing him perform, before heading to the Pacific Northwest, far from the east coast venues. Some of the greats passed through Vancouver, but not many, and not Horace. I'm happy to throw some coin in the hat, and wish you well in getting this project off the ground!
Horace Silver is one my favorite pianist and composers. I believe that he had Cape Verdean roots. Cape Verde has produced many great musicians and singers. Some of my favorite African music!
I first heard Silver on the live at Birdland recordings with Art Blakey. They were exciting. His songs still fascinate me. You've taken on a worthy project and I look forward to reading more about it.
I look forward to your weekly updates on Horace Silver’s legacy. I played a cassette of Silver n brass until it would not play anymore. My introduction into my love affair with Tom Harrell. Never see it on anybody’s list of must listen jazz recordings. It’s on my top ten

Thanks, Terry. I've been digging Horace since the early 60s and consider it a great honor to make a film that tells his story.
