Carmen Souza is back with cd nº9 totally dedicated to Horace Silver music, calling it -The Silver Messengers. Anyone following the last decade of Souza´s career would have predicted this release sooner or later. Silver has been credited more then once as a big influence in Souza´s career but their connections go beyond the artistic identification. They both share the same Cape Verdean heritage and they both, in different ways, mixed that heritage with elements of Jazz. The Silver Messengers mission in this CD was to honour Silver pioneering repertoire by bringing it back to its African/Lusophone roots. Only Carmen Souza, with the help of her long time musical partner Theo Pascal, who has accomplish so much with her own pioneering musical signature, could have completed this mission with such wonder and authenticity.

After bassist Scott LaFaro’s tragic death in a car accident in July of 1961, Bill Evans was devastated and didn’t feel capable of forming a new trio. The late 1961-1962 formation heard here was a transition group, with bassist Chuck Israels attempting to fill the void left by LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian still on drums (in 1963 he would be Breplaced by Larry Bunker which set the stage for Bill Evans’ second well-known trio).
