Diamond in the Riff is a 2008 album by Terry Silverlight, featuring pianist/composer Barry Miles, bassist Will Lee, and David Mann, Aaron Heick, Glenn Alexander, Tabitha Fair, Lew Soloff, Bob Malach, Larry Farrell and Allan Molnar.

The All About Jazz reviewer commented that, "While it seems most jazz players today are trying to capture something that predates or postdates true jazz fusion, Silverlight is happy to seize upon that sound, circa something 1976–1989, before 'smooth jazz' took over this art form."^[1]
