Silver 'n Percussion is an album by jazz pianist Horace Silver.[3] It was released on the Blue Note label in 1977.[4]
Reception
[edit]The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos stated: "Silver's best work came prior to this recording, but this may be his best work of the 1970s. Even though it's a little short, at under 40 minutes, it's nonetheless recommended and, perhaps for the leader, worth a revisit."[5]
