Silver 'n Percussion

Silver 'n Percussion is an album by jazz pianist Horace Silver. It was released on the Blue Note label in 1977.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos stated: "Silver's best work came prior to this recording, but this may be his best work of the 1970s. Even though it's a little short, at under 40 minutes, it's nonetheless recommended and, perhaps for the leader, worth a revisit."
