Live Jazz, Busheikin/Villette Presents: The Music of Horace silver

Nanaimo Conservatory of Music 375 Selby Street, Nanaimo

Busheikin/Villette Presents: THE TRIO SERIES Celebrating the music of one of jazz histories most prolific composers, the great Horace Silver Celebrating the music of one of jazz histories most prolific composers, the great Horace Silver The band: James Darling - Piano Kosma Busheikin - Upright Bass Graham Villette - Drums and Cymbals March 28th 7pm-9pm $30 THE TRIO SERIES will take place at the Nanaimo Conservatory of Music 375 Selby St. A little about Horace Silver: Horace Silver was born in Norwalk Connecticut on September 2nd, 1928. As a pioneer of the Hard Bop style, Silver composed and recorded some of the greatest known jazz recordings of his time. Songs like Song for My Father, Sister Sadie, Nica’s Dream and of course the Preacher are just a few of the many compositions that helped Silver leave his mark in the jazz world. In addition, he is partly responsible for popularizing of ‘Latin Jazz’, weaving the rhythm and harmony into his compositions and arrangements. The success of his bands can in part be attributed to a combination of engaging music and top notch players. When listening to Horace Silver’s music you can expect three things; soulful blues, hard swinging groove and masterful writing. “Busheikin/Villette Presents” is a monthly jazz concert series that brings the best in live jazz straight to Nanaimo. As longtime friends and musical collaborators, the curators of this series, drummer Graham Villette and bassist Kosma Busheikin wanted to create an experience for the community of Nanaimo. As they join forces with local and visiting artists, their mission is to bring great music and unforgettable nights to the many jazz lovers of Nanaimo.
