Horace Silver - late 20th Century

from The Great Jazz Pianists: Speaking of Their Lives and Music, pages 125-126:

Do you still feel the need to avoid the influence of other musicians? Oh, no. I listen to everybody. I always have my radio tuned to [jazz station] KBCA [now KKGO] in Los Angeles. My ears are open to all of it, but when I'm playing, my ears are shut to everyone but me.
