For my fellow jazz nerds :nerd :
Silver, born in 1928 in Connecticut, is of Portuguese/African/Irish descent and fluent in Portuguese. Not suprising, as his father was from Cape Verde. He was "discovered" in 1950 by Stan Getz. As far as I know, he is still alive and within recent memory played at Jazz Alley in Seattle. Not many guys from that era of jazz are still with us. Those that survived or avoided alcohol and drug abuse in their younger years are now in their mid-late 80's.
