One Night With Blue Note, where's Horace?

[StarThrower]

Although I've never seen it mentioned, I can't be the only one to notice the conspicuous absence of Horace Sliver.

Anyone know why he was not present at this historic concert?

It looks to me, that the concert featured a lot of people that were recording for the re-invigorated label at the time. So we get Kenny Burrell teamed with Grover Washington. Did Horace Silver release anything on the 'new' Blue Note at the time?

[StarThrower]

I believe he was releasing albums on his own label during that period. But he was one of the last artists recording on the old Blue Note.

[JSngry]

The last, actually.

[Chuck Nessa]

The last, actually.

With arrangements by my old friend Dale Oehler, better known for playing piano on JR Monterose's "In Action".

He was releasing albums on his own label, Silveto, after his tenure with Blue Note, and on Columbia and Impulse - maybe he was under contract with one of the latter two at the time that One Night With Blue Note concert was taped.
