Horace Silver

Horace Silver’s Bass Reference.  I love classic Horace Silver tunes and am studying Sister Sadie now for a performance in March.  I’m curious about his bass reference in his comping and solos.  Somebody told me that they are just bass slaps - a percussive technique used by latin pianists, doesn’t really matter what notes you hit,  just a rhythm thing.  Is there more to it than that?  You can hear it in Sister  Sadie, both in the comp and in the solo.  Grateful for any insight.
