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 Anthony Williams Spring Jazz | Universal/Blue Note | 1LP Released 29th December 2014 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Anthony Williams Spring £14.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Universal/Blue Note SKU: 3793767 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th December 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mammal Hands Gift from the Trees Jazz | Gondwana | 2LP Released 31st March 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mammal Hands Gift from the Trees £25.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Gondwana SKU: GONDLP061 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 31st March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Duke Ellington Live at the Berlin Jazz Festival 1969-1973 (The Lost Recordings) Jazz | The Lost Recordings | 180g, 1LP Released 11th September 2023 £TBC Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Duke Ellington Live at the Berlin Jazz Festival 1969-1973 (The Lost Recordings) £TBC Genre: Jazz Label: The Lost Recordings SKU: TLR 2204041V Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 11th September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kenny Burrell Bluesy Burrell Jazz | Analogue Productions (Prestige) | 180g, 1LP Released 16th December 2016 £45.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kenny Burrell Bluesy Burrell £45.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions (Prestige) SKU: APRJ29 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 16th December 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Andrew Hill Smoke Stack Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 19th June 2020 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Andrew Hill Smoke Stack £17.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 852544 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 19th June 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bill Evans Sharp Notes Jazz | Not Now Music | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 5th December 2011 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bill Evans Sharp Notes £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Not Now Music SKU: NOT2LP141 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 5th December 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Miroslav Vitous Infinite Search Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 17th August 2016 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Miroslav Vitous Infinite Search £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: PPANSD524 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 17th August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Scofield Hand Jive Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 2LP Released 9th August 2019 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Scofield Hand Jive £25.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 7759665 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 9th August 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Coltrane Soultrane (mono) Jazz | Analogue Productions | 180g, 1LP Released 13th October 2014 £45.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Coltrane Soultrane (mono) £45.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions SKU: APRJ7142 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 13th October 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists The Jazz Album Jazz | UMC | 2LP Released 3rd June 2022 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists The Jazz Album £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: UMC SKU: 5396142 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 3rd June 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
