Dan Gould Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 I thought this might be a goof photo when I read the subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Horace played tenor throughout high school. Didn't he play it on his first professional gig? I seem to remember that's what he said in his autobiography. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gheorghe Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 This photo is in Horace Silver´s Autobiography "lets get to the Nitty Gritty" . Has the strange tenore-posture something to do with the accident Horace had when he was a Boy, where he hurt his back, something with trying to jump over a Creek …. that´s how he describes it in his book. Did Horace Always have his hair straight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Brown Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Yes, he was born with his hair like that. As Horace told an interviewer in the 1960s, "Paul Gonsalves and I are the only Portuguese Creoles in jazz." At that time that was probably true.
