One of the most beautiful Jazz albums one is ever likely to own. It is "vintage Silver," backed up by his favorite side men, including the incomparable Joe Henderson on tenor, who at the time was just hitting his "post-Coltrane" stride. The centerpiece of the album is of course the famous Portuguese flavored song (Silver has Portuguese roots) and title piece, "Song for my father" (Cantiga para meu pao). It is almost religious in its haunting repetitious vamp. And one is unlikely to ever hear a more beautiful, subtler, solo than that crafted by Henderson on this track. Its beauty is almost "stealth-like" in the way it creeps up on you. It begins innocently enough and then builds into a subdued but violent crescendo, and then dies away as if nothing ever happened: all done without the classical musical fireworks, just the facts man. AmenI had the opportunity to meet Henderson off stage at Blues Alley just to tell him how much that one solo meant to me and to the Jazz world. He understood and appreciated the compliment.Five Stars
