Bibliography

[edit]

I made some edits then got scared I was messing up a nice article so I thought I would bring this here. Silver wrote two books The Art of Small Jazz Combo Playing and Let's Get to the Nitty Gritty: The Autobiography of Horace Silver. At the moment these are listed separately under Further Reading and the Bibliography of the References section. In my mind it would make sense to list these together in a Bibliograpy. Do other editors agree that this makes sense? It would probably mean renaming the bibliography in the references section. Vladimir.copic (talk) 02:57, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

They're in separate sections because one of them is used as a source for the article and one isn't. It therefore doesn't make sense to have them in one section; thanks for reverting and asking here. EddieHugh (talk) 22:44, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Surname

[edit]

How did Silver's father get the (English) last name "Silver" if he was from a Portuguese-speaking island? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 02:50, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

See 'note 1' in the opening sentence. EddieHugh (talk) 18:15, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
