Horace Silver & The Silver Brass Ensemble ’ Song For My Father’ | North Sea Jazz (1994)

Horace Silver & The Silver Brass Ensemble ‘ Song For My Father’ Live at the North Sea Jazz Festival 1994. This composition was used by Steely Dan in their song ’Rikki Don’t Lose That Number’. Steely Dan’s Donald Fagen said in a 2011 interview when asked about the intro ’There was never a conscious thought about picking up Horace Silver’s intro. We wrote this Brazilian bass line and when drummer Jim Gordon heard it, he played his figures. As for the piano line, I think I had heard it on an old Sergio Mendes album. Maybe that where Horace heard it, too [laughs]’.
