REPOST and ADD ON: Found the Breakfast At Tiffani's his third at Goodwill the other day and that is the only new one to past post. What I wrote last time: Just scratching the surface here with what he's done starting with a couple of early jazz then some great non-instrumental albums and a live jazz finale. I first heard and was enamored with his live tune with Les McCann from an early Atlantic Records double album compilation I had rode my bike over and checked out from our local library back in the mid-80's...a song called 'Compared To What' with "old rednecks rolling logs" and super loud vocal shouts that I was and still am totally into. I didn't check out many from the library back then but that was tops in my forming years along with they had 'London Calling' by the Clash and Professor Longhair's Crawfish album--all equally radical in the forming of my musical taste.
What fantastic timing! I've been on an Eddie Harris kick over the past week and here's The Electrifying Eddie Harris! Thanks!
