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 Horace Silver And The Jazz Messengers Horace Silver And The Jazz Messengers Jazz | Ermitage | 180g, 1LP Released 10th March 2016 £10.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Horace Silver And The Jazz Messengers Horace Silver And The Jazz Messengers £10.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Ermitage SKU: VNL12227LPPMI Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 10th March 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dave Brubeck Quartet Jazz at Oberlin Jazz | OJC | 1LP Released 10th December 2016 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dave Brubeck Quartet Jazz at Oberlin £16.00 Genre: Jazz Label: OJC SKU: OJC046 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th December 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Paul Quinichette/Charlie Rouse The Chase Is On (mono) Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 24th June 2013 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Paul Quinichette/Charlie Rouse The Chase Is On (mono) £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: BCP6021 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 24th June 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Louis Armstrong Cest Si Bon Jazz | BMG Records | 1LP Released 19th October 2018 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Louis Armstrong Cest Si Bon £13.00 Genre: Jazz Label: BMG Records SKU: 4050538423327 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th October 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Donald Byrd A New Perspective – Classic Vinyl Series Jazz | Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 15th March 2024 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Donald Byrd A New Perspective – Classic Vinyl Series £26.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note SKU: 5832003 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 15th March 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View George Benson White Rabbit Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 6th September 2024 £31.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders George Benson White Rabbit £31.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP213 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 6th September 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Micah Thomas Mountains Jazz | Artwork Records | 2LP Released 13th September 2024 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Micah Thomas Mountains £32.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Artwork Records SKU: ARTR009LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 13th September 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Donald Byrd Byrd’s Eye View (Tone Poet) Jazz | Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 3rd May 2024 £36.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Donald Byrd Byrd’s Eye View (Tone Poet) £36.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note SKU: 4585225 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 3rd May 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ben Webster Gentle Ben Jazz | Analogue Productions | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 16th December 2016 £65.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ben Webster Gentle Ben £65.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions SKU: AAPJ04045 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 16th December 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Miles Davis Sketches Of Spain Jazz | Sony Legacy | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 29th March 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Miles Davis Sketches Of Spain £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Sony Legacy SKU: 88985378481 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 29th March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
