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 Mark Turner and Ethan Iverson Temporary Kings Jazz | ECM | 1LP Released 5th October 2018 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mark Turner and Ethan Iverson Temporary Kings £21.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM SKU: 6767580 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th October 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Espen Eriksen Trio End Of Summer Jazz | Rune Grammofon | 1LP Released 2nd October 2020 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Espen Eriksen Trio End Of Summer £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Rune Grammofon SKU: RLP3216 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd October 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Matthew Halsall When The World Was One Jazz | Gondwana | 2LP Released 23rd August 2024 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Matthew Halsall When The World Was One £27.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Gondwana SKU: GONDLP10BIO Formats: 2LP Released Date: 23rd August 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sunny Ozell Overnight Lows Jazz | Chitin Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 28th February 2020 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sunny Ozell Overnight Lows £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Chitin Records SKU: CHIT1LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 28th February 2020 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 Madlib Shades Of Blue Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP Released 30th June 2017 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Madlib Shades Of Blue £29.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1898 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 30th June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nina Simone & Dj Maestro Little Girl Blue Remixed Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP Released 9th October 2020 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nina Simone & Dj Maestro Little Girl Blue Remixed £28.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1571 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 9th October 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Michel Legrand Legrand Jazz Jazz | Impex Records | 180g, 1LP Released 13th October 2017 £45.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Michel Legrand Legrand Jazz £45.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Impex Records SKU: AIMX6028 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 13th October 2017 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Miles Davis Quintet Cookin’ Jazz | Analogue Productions | 180g, 1LP Released 19th November 2010 £45.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Miles Davis Quintet Cookin’ £45.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions SKU: APRJ7094 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 19th November 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Miles Davis Bitches Brew – UltraDisc One-Step Jazz | Mobile Fidelity | 180g, 2LP, Box Set Released 25th December 2023 £175.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Miles Davis Bitches Brew – UltraDisc One-Step £175.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Mobile Fidelity SKU: UD1S2-039 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Box Set Released Date: 25th December 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
