eddie harris late 60's appreciation

[ako]

ive been listening to my "funky doo" and "wait, please" 45s nonstop for a few months now. this shit is just so goddamn good....just builds and builds and ends on some

echo shit....perfection.

I've been really feeling the Silver Cycles LP lately, especially the track "Smoke Signals." That early electric shit he was doing aroung that time, soooo nice.

"The Electrifying Eddie Harris" is one of the few funky jazz record I've kept over the years.

This was a little bit after the late sixties, but you should hear 1973's "Drunk Man," this sick little jam where not only is he playing sax through some electronic apparatus (the Varitone), but he's talking through it as well...

I've picked up some stuff recently where others have done that too: Lester Bowie and of course Rahsaan Roland Kirk. There's another one, where the guy is talking through his flute but I don't remember who it was.

Hey Ako,

Eddie Harris is one of my favorites from that time period. I have all of his stuff from that era and there after (in the 70's). I used to sample the shit out of that stuff (e.g., "Hey Wado", "Wait Please", "Ballad (for my Love)") in the late 80's/early 90's too.

Peace,

I really like "Plug Me In" on Atlantic after "The Electrifying".

Harold Alexander?

There's one track on his Sunshine Man album where he is just babbling up a storm...with the flute still in his mouth...

There were actually a couple other people doing that same thing, and Harold Alexander did that on a couple albums as well.

Alexander LPs with that:

Clark Terry used to make his varitone trumpet talk as well... he'd carry a conversation with it throughout a song... so i guess he's one more to add to that list.

So what do you think of his comedy album, The Reason Why I'm Talking S--t?

My friend sam, who isn't into records at all, absolutely loves this record. There was a period of about a year that he would ask me to play it every time he came over. It is a pretty funny record though. When that lady in the back says "why do you say fuck all the time?"... that shit kills me.

I was actually hoping to find the pic of Vincent modelling the Trombipulation-style rubber elephant nose for his class--that one really should be its own graemlin.

I love Rahsaan's version of Ain't No Sunshine on Blucknuss. He sings the chorus through his flute on that one.

I've been through three of his Vee-Jay Lps including this one - for me the only keeper was 'Bossa Nova', the others were just too dry... Tiffany's was okay but not much different than the OST from what I recall
