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 Thelonious Monk Mulligan Meets Monk Jazz | Birdland | 1LP, Includes CD Released 18th November 2013 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Thelonious Monk Mulligan Meets Monk £17.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Birdland SKU: BIRD014 Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 18th November 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sarah Vaughan Out Of This World Jazz | Supper Club | 180g, 1LP Released 13th September 2024 £18.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Sarah Vaughan Out Of This World £18.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Supper Club SKU: 049SP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 13th September 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Lee Morgan Sixth Sense Jazz | Blue Note | 1LP Released 21st January 2009 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lee Morgan Sixth Sense £14.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: BST84335 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st January 2009 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hugh Masekela The Chisa Years Jazz | BBE | 2LP Released 11th May 2018 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hugh Masekela The Chisa Years £25.00 Genre: Jazz Label: BBE SKU: BBELP69 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 11th May 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hank Mobley Reach Out Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 21st October 2016 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hank Mobley Reach Out £21.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: LP84288 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 21st October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pharoah Sanders Moon Child Jazz | Tidal Waves Music | 180g, 1LP Released 8th April 2022 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pharoah Sanders Moon Child £28.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Tidal Waves Music SKU: TWM38 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 8th April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View George Benson Give Me The Night Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 14th January 2015 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders George Benson Give Me The Night £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: PPANHS3453 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 14th January 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bobby Hutcherson Spiral Jazz | Blue Note | Miscellaneous Released 16th February 2010 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bobby Hutcherson Spiral £13.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: LT996 Formats: Miscellaneous Released Date: 16th February 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jon Hendricks Fast Livin’ Blues Jazz | ORG | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 5th October 2012 £59.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jon Hendricks Fast Livin’ Blues £59.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ORG SKU: ORG121 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 5th October 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Comet Is Coming, The Imminent Jazz | Impulse | 12", Single Released 3rd April 2024 £8.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Comet Is Coming, The Imminent £8.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Impulse SKU: nn283804 Formats: 12", Single Released Date: 3rd April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket See more in Jazz Start again
