Movement Joe Harriott Quintet SKU: 6589967 Barcode: 0602465899672 26.00 £26.00 Genre: Jazz Label: UMR Released Date: 4th October 2024 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info On 4 October 2024 Universal Music Recordings and Decca Records are making Jamaican/British jazz saxophonist Joe Harriott’s album ‘Movement’ available again for the first time since it was released in 1964. Long sought after by collectors and connoisseurs, original copies now sell for upwards of £1,000. This new edition was mastered at Abbey Road using high definition 24bit/192kHz audio files, copied directly from the original stereo analogue master tapes (previously only the mono version has been on vinyl). Images of those tapes are included in the package alongside new sleeve notes written by noted author, compiler and documentary maker Tony Higgins, who also acts as Executive Producer for Decca’s ‘British Jazz Explosion’ series. Recorded in 1963, ‘Movement’ was released as part of the Lansdowne Series, overseen by the influential Denis Preston, one of the UK’s first independent record producers, and engineered by Adrian Kerridge. Of the nine tracks, seven are Harriott originals, whilst the other two were written by another pioneer of British Jazz, Michael Garrick. Playing alongside Joe were bassist Coleridge Goode (b. 1914 Jamaica, d. 2015 London), drummer Bobby Orr (b. Scotland 1928, d. 2020), pianist Pat Smythe (b. Scotland 1923, d. 1983), and trumpet/flugelhorn player Ellsworth ‘Shake’ Keane (b. St. Vincent 1927, d. 1997). Born in Jamaica in 1928, Joseph Arthurlin Harriott was a pupil at the Alpha Boys School (alma mater to Harold McNair, Dizzy Reece, and a myriad of Ska greats). He arrived in Britain in the early ’50s, initially touring with the Ozzie Da Costa Band, followed by a brief spell with the Ronnie Scott Big Band, and sessions backing the likes of George Chisholm, and Lita Roza. By the mid ’50s Joe was a big enough draw to release records under his own name, and whilst these early recordings conform to the then popular bop style, the following decade would see him release albums whose titles chart his development; ‘Free Form’ in 1960, and ‘Abstract’ in 1963. ‘Movement’ is a testament to Joe Harriott’s visionary approach to jazz. It blends structure with freedom, tradition with innovation, and individual expression with collective creativity. His development of free-form jazz represents a significant contribution to the genre, paralleling yet distinct from the work of Ornette Coleman and other American free jazz artists. It is an essential listen, not only for fans of British jazz, but jazz fans in general. It is perhaps best summed up by the epitaph that now adorns Joe’s gravestone; “Parker? There’s them over here can play a few aces too.” Artist Joe Harriott Quintet Genre Jazz Label UMR Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings 'Morning Blue' (Joe Harriott) 'Beams' (Joe Harriott) 'Count Twelve' (Joe Harriott) 'Face In The Crowd' (Michael Garrick) 'Revival' (Joe Harriot) 'Blues On Blues' (Michael Garrick) 'Spaces' (Joe Harriott) 'Spiritual Blues' (Joe Harriott) 'Movement' (Joe Harriott) Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Joe Harriott Quintet and more from Jazz View Product Quick View Joe Harriott Quintet Swings High Jazz | Cadillac | 1LP Released 7th October 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joe Harriott Quintet Swings High £25.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Cadillac SKU: SGCMELLP203 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th October 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Joe Harriott Quintet BBC Jazz For Moderns Jazz | Gearbox | 180g, 1LP Released 10th June 2014 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joe Harriott Quintet BBC Jazz For Moderns £21.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Gearbox SKU: GB1503 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 10th June 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nils Wülker Go Jazz | Warner Jazz | 1LP Released 11th September 2020 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nils Wülker Go £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Warner Jazz SKU: 0190295200077 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th September 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jimmy Smith The Cat Jazz | Verve | 180g, 1LP Released 22nd February 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jimmy Smith The Cat £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Verve SKU: 5345894 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 22nd February 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Miles Davis Bitches Brew (40th Anniversary) Jazz | Columbia | Box Set Released 26th October 2010 £68.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Miles Davis Bitches Brew (40th Anniversary) £68.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Columbia SKU: 88697755202 Formats: Box Set Released Date: 26th October 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charlie Parker Charlie Parker – The Mercury & Clef 10-inch LP Collection Jazz | Verve | 10", Box Set Released 8th January 2021 £108.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charlie Parker Charlie Parker – The Mercury & Clef 10-inch LP Collection £108.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Verve SKU: 886876 Formats: 10", Box Set Released Date: 8th January 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Various Arists Universal Sounds Of America Jazz | Soul Jazz | 2LP Released 14th August 2024 £36.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Various Arists Universal Sounds Of America £36.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Soul Jazz SKU: nn292381 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 14th August 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View George Benson Breezin’ Jazz | Rhino | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 5th February 2021 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders George Benson Breezin’ £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Rhino SKU: 0603497845149 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 5th February 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Thelonious Monk Complete Prestige 10s Jazz | Concord Craft Recordings | 10", Box Set Released 20th April 2018 £85.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Thelonious Monk Complete Prestige 10s £85.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Concord Craft Recordings SKU: ACONC0031 Formats: 10", Box Set Released Date: 20th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Coltrane Blue World Jazz | Impulse | 1LP Released 27th September 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Coltrane Blue World £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Impulse SKU: 7762651 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th September 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Vince Mendoza & Arif Mardin Jazzpaña Jazz | ACT | 2LP Released 18th November 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Vince Mendoza & Arif Mardin Jazzpaña £23.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACTLP9212-1 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 18th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Clark Terry, Freddie Hubbard, Dizzy Gillespie Plus Oscar Peterson The Alternate Blues (Analogue Productions/Pablo) Jazz | Analogue Productions/Pablo | 180g, 1LP Released 26th April 2024 £47.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Clark Terry, Freddie Hubbard, Dizzy Gillespie Plus Oscar Peterson The Alternate Blues (Analogue Productions/Pablo) £47.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions/Pablo SKU: AAPJ152 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 26th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
