One of my favorite venues at the Detroit Jazz Festival is the Talk Tent. Distinguished guest are giving an opportunity to give an insiders' view of behind the scenes. Among other things, Clarke told of his stint with the Horace Silver Quintet early in his career. In his first concert with Silver they performed overseas. Clarke played his bass part as it had been written, but in the next concert Clarke decided to change the bass line to add his own touch. Clarke said that Horace Silver was not known to visit his sidemen's rooms on the road, but after the concert, Silver made a visit to Clarke's room. He said to Clarke "Today's Tuesday, if you haven't learned that bass line by Wednesday, by Thursday you'll be back in Philadelphia!"
