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 Cannonball Adderley Somethin’ Else – UltraDisc One-Step Jazz | Mobile Fidelity | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Box Set Released 28th November 2023 £175.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Cannonball Adderley Somethin’ Else – UltraDisc One-Step £175.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Mobile Fidelity SKU: UD1S2-022 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Box Set Released Date: 28th November 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Pat Metheny Offramp Jazz | ECM | 180g, 1LP Released 20th March 2010 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pat Metheny Offramp £16.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM SKU: 2727893 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 20th March 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Randy Brecker The Brecker Brothers Band Reunion Jazz | Moosicus Records | 180g, 2LP Released 2nd December 2013 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Randy Brecker The Brecker Brothers Band Reunion £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Moosicus Records SKU: M12171 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 2nd December 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Helen Merrill Helen Merrill Jazz | Analogue Productions | 180g, 1LP Released 15th May 2020 £45.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Helen Merrill Helen Merrill £45.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions SKU: AAPJ127 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 15th May 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Freddie Hubbard Sky Dive Jazz | CTI | Miscellaneous Released 14th February 2009 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Freddie Hubbard Sky Dive £14.00 Genre: Jazz Label: CTI SKU: CTI6018 Formats: Miscellaneous Released Date: 14th February 2009 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Art Ensemble of Chicago Les Stances à Sophie Jazz | Soul Jazz | 2LP Released 3rd October 2018 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Art Ensemble of Chicago Les Stances à Sophie £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Soul Jazz SKU: SJRLP418 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 3rd October 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Louis Armstrong Town Hall Concert Plus Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 29th September 2017 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Louis Armstrong Town Hall Concert Plus £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: LPM1443 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 29th September 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tsuyoshi Yamamoto Trio Blues For K Vol. 2 Jazz | Somethin' Cool | 180g, 1LP Released 7th April 2023 £70.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tsuyoshi Yamamoto Trio Blues For K Vol. 2 £70.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Somethin' Cool SKU: SCLPI1063 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 7th April 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sun Ra/Merzbow Strange City Jazz | Cold Spring Records | 180g, 1LP Released 30th September 2016 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sun Ra/Merzbow Strange City £21.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Cold Spring Records SKU: CSR229LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 30th September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Django Deluxe & NDR Bigband Driving Jazz | MPS | 1LP Released 1st April 2016 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Django Deluxe & NDR Bigband Driving £14.00 Genre: Jazz Label: MPS SKU: 0210186MS1 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st April 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
