About
Horace Silver takes one and three-quarter choruses on piano as the sole soloist on this recording. At a ballad tempo of 63 BPM over the 32-bar AABA in E♭, the performance unfolds with spacious lyricism and emotional depth. "Without You" is a ballad performance from Horace Silver's 1960 Blue Note album Horace-Scope, featuring Silver as the sole soloist on piano. Recorded for the album Horace-Scope in 1960, the performance captures Horace Silver at 31 to 32 years old. The composition by Don Newey unfolds over a 32-bar AABA form in E-flat minor at a slow tempo, and Silver's extended solo of nearly two choruses reveals the depth of feeling beneath his usually funky, hard-driving exterior.
Horace Silver was 31 to 32 years old at the time.
