eddie harris late 60's appreciation

[the3rdstream]

does anyone have a copy of "Jazz for "Breakfast at Tiffany's"" for me?, its early 60s but whatever

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
So it isn't fonkay?!

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).

So what do you think of his comedy album, The Reason Why I'm Talking S--t?
Actually, Eddie was a funny dude. I liked him better on sax, though.

If I had gotten signed back in the late 80's/early 90's, I would have been paying his mortgage with sample clearances. I caught my earlier mistake. Mr. Harris passed in 1996 (I was thinking of Cal Tjader passing in the early 80's).

I've been getting into electric-era Eddie Harris a lot lately. His sixties albums aren't bad, but after he started "plugging in," his records took on a whole new resonance.





Bought over the past week: Come On Down! and E.H. In The U.K.

I saw Eddie Harris at Jazz De Opus back in '80.


I thought Ron Steen's trio was backing him up with Peter Boe on keys, but Peter says it wasn't them.





Anyway, Eddie Harris was funny.


He also mentioned that does a lot of cartoon background music because it is so hard to play and keeps your sight reading chops fresh.





And because no one mentioned it let me say Swiss Movement, Compared To What.
