Eddie Harris

The In Sound Eddie Harris Audiophile edition

This is one of the great platters of Eddie Harris. The piano playing is inspired, what a band: Cedar Walton (piano) and Billy Higgins (drums), Lee Morgan's favorite rhythm section. The underrated but popular tenor saxophonist introduces his "Freedom Jazz Dance," which would become a jazz standard after Miles Davis' album "Miles Smiles Smiles."

Harris shines with one of the earlier versions of "The Shadow Of Your Smile," romps on "Love For Sale" and "'S Wonderful," and also plays "Born To Be Blue" and his own "Cryin' Blues." Harris is in top form in a quartet/quintet with pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Ron Carter, drummer Billy Higgins and part-time trumpeter Ray Codrington - a gem!

Eddie Harris (ts); Ray Codrington (tp); Cedar Walton (p); Ron Carter (b); Billy Higgins (dr) We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
