A Prescription for the Blues is an album by jazz pianist Horace Silver released on the Impulse! label in 1997 featuring performances by Silver with Randy Brecker, Michael Brecker, Ron Carter, and Louis Hayes.[1]
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars and states: "The funny part about Silver's music is that, no matter who he is paying tribute to (this set includes a song for Lester Young), the style always ends up sounding like Horace Silver, with no real reference to the subject matter... But it is a joy to hear Horace Silver still playing in his prime at the age of 68."
