(21,925 posts)3. My favorite Horace Silver composition
Nica's Dream, which is the standard of all jazz standards. Every jazz player knows and has played this tune to death. Along with Song For My Father I played this tune in jazz combos when I was a young man in the 1970s.

including a quotation by HS of "Nobody knows the trouble I've seen".
Another favorite of mine is "Bonita", but YouTube is now blocking all videos of HS playing that tune.
