Silver 'n Percussion is an album by jazz pianist Horace Silver. [3] It was released on the Blue Note label in 1977. [4]
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." [5]
