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 Phil Ranelin The Time Is Now Jazz | Now Again | 1LP Released 18th February 2022 £31.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Phil Ranelin The Time Is Now £31.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Now Again SKU: NA5211LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th February 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Artemis Artemis Jazz | Blue Note | 1LP Released 11th September 2020 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Artemis Artemis £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 893740 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th September 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Laurence Hobgood When the Heart Dances Jazz | Naim Jazz | 180g, 2LP Released 16th December 2013 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Laurence Hobgood When the Heart Dances £27.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Naim Jazz SKU: NAIMLP133 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 16th December 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bobby Jaspar Modern Jazz au Club St Germain – Barclay – 1956 Jazz | Sam Records | 180g, 1LP Released 31st October 2024 £31.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Bobby Jaspar Modern Jazz au Club St Germain – Barclay – 1956 £31.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Sam Records SKU: SR07/1 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 31st October 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Adam Baldych & Leszek Mozdzer Passacaglia Jazz | ACT | 2LP Released 9th February 2024 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Adam Baldych & Leszek Mozdzer Passacaglia £29.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACTLP9057-7 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 9th February 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Roland Kirk Rip Rig and Panic Jazz | 1LP Released 12th August 2009 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Roland Kirk Rip Rig and Panic £13.00 Genre: Jazz SKU: LS86027 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th August 2009 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Seth MacFarlane Great Songs From Stage and Screen Jazz | Verve | 1LP Released 9th October 2020 £TBC Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Seth MacFarlane Great Songs From Stage and Screen £TBC Genre: Jazz Label: Verve SKU: 3509695 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th October 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Courtney Pine House of Legends Jazz | Destin-E | 1LP Released 21st February 2013 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Courtney Pine House of Legends £14.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Destin-E SKU: 7777V21028867 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st February 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nils Landgren Funk Unit Live in Stockholm Jazz | ACT | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 28th August 2020 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nils Landgren Funk Unit Live in Stockholm £21.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACTLP9223-1 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 28th August 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Coleman Hawkins Encounters Ben Webster Jazz | Analogue Productions | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 1st November 2013 £65.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Coleman Hawkins Encounters Ben Webster £65.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions SKU: AVRJ606645 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 1st November 2013 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket See more in Jazz Start again
