I do remember seeing in concert this wonderful musician. Well do I think now of "Senor Blues". Horace & Quintet performed at the Indiana Show (West Washington Street between Illinois & Capitol Avenues) in 1959.

Horace played "Senor Blues" for approximately 20 minutes alone, even though members of his quintet attempted to do their solos, it was quite evident that Horace was into his own thing. The concert hall was packed and the 2 hour program was a constant performance with much applause.
