Horace Silver himself is probably the most reserved soloist on this album. Woody Shaw, Joe Henderson, and . Johnson all reach points in their solos where they play long, quick phrases. Horace Silver, on the other hand, plays very few notes in comparison to create his melodic ideas. Seven of the compositions were written by Horace Silver with Hank Mobley contributing "Hankerin" only.

In 1956, Horace Silver left Art Blakey to form his own group, the Horace Silver Quintet, a group that would record and perform actively for the next 40 years. The Horace Silver Quintet group and The Jazz Messengers would become known as groups which featured the best young talent in jazz, many of the alumni of these groups went on to become very important figures in jazz music. The trumpet players who came through Silver's group and the Jazz Messengers form a "who's who" list of jazz trumpet players from the 1950's-80's.

Biography by Chris Kelsey. The leading composer and pioneer of hard bop, plus a pianist who blended vintage R&B, gospel, blues, and Caribbean elements into jazz.

The tracks were later combined on the album Horace Silver and the Jazz Messengers (1955); by then, this outfit was a cooperative quintet, and hard bop had been born. Vinyl albums running 15 minutes per side encouraged groups to develop extended solos. On the live version of Soft Winds, the tension escalates behind Mobley; Blakey and Silver switch off when the trumpet takes over, then build inexorably until the performance reaches its emotional peak. Based in California since the 1970s, Silver was granted various honours by the US state and, in 2005, received a President's Merit award at the Grammy Salute to Jazz ceremony. He also set up the Horace Silver Foundation to give scholarships to aspiring jazz musicians. His autobiography, Let's Get to the Nitty Gritty, was published in 2005.
