Joe Harriott Quintet - Movement & High Spirits - Killer Jazz!

Description: Joe Harriott Quintet - Movement & High Spirits - Great British Jazz Double CD Set - Ships Fast!. For your consideration is 2 disc cd set from a key player in British jazz of the 1960s; Joe Harriott. First up is Movement - one of the most obscure albums recorded by Joe Harriott - a seminal work of the British avant scene in the 60s, and one of the best! The album features Harriott working with a quintet that includes Shake Keane on trumpet, Pat Smythe on piano, Bobby Orr (not the hockey player) on drums, and Coleridge Goode on bass - all playing in territory that's somewhat in the neighborhood of his Abstract and Free Form albums, but a bit more inside, and with greater focus on swinging, hard-hitting jazz. The rhythms are tight and soulful, and although the album's touched with lots of angular moments, both in the solos and backings, the overall sound is wonderfully grooving and tremendous. The album's got that perfect blend of modern, modal, and soul that make the best Brit jazz albums from the mid 60s stand out. The set list includes original tunes such as "Movement", "Spaces", "Blues On Blues", "Revival", "Beams", and "Count Twelve". High Spirits is a unique album containing a set of takes on tunes that come from a musical show, but powerfully reworked as soulful sides for the Harriott's combo players. Pianist Pat Smythe re-arranged all tracks in the set -- and really gives them a new dimension of energy -- opening them up with lots of solo work on his own piano, plus alto from Harriott, and some beautiful trumpet lines from the great Shake Keane -- a player that always sounds great next to Joe. The rest of the group features Coleridge Goode on bass and Bobby Orr on drums -- and titles include "Home Sweet Heaven", "Something Tells Me", "Go Into Your Trance", "I Know Your Heart", and "Was She Prettier Than I". This UK import set contains two cd's in a single jewel case with both albums on cd for the very first time. Great stuff, and an excellent alternative to trying to find rare and costly original records seperately.
