Movement Joe Harriott Quintet SKU: 6589967 Barcode: 0602465899672 26.00 £26.00 Genre: Jazz Label: UMR Released Date: 4th October 2024 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info On 4 October 2024 Universal Music Recordings and Decca Records are making Jamaican/British jazz saxophonist Joe Harriott’s album ‘Movement’ available again for the first time since it was released in 1964. 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 Bad Plus It’s Hard Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 4th November 2016 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bad Plus It’s Hard £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1785 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 4th November 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Blossom Dearie Blossom Dearie (Verve By Request Series) Jazz | Verve | 180g, 1LP Released 9th June 2023 £39.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Blossom Dearie Blossom Dearie (Verve By Request Series) £39.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Verve SKU: 4899710 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 9th June 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pokey LaFarge Manic Revalations Jazz | Concord | 1LP Released 19th May 2017 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pokey LaFarge Manic Revalations £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Concord SKU: 7202431 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th May 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Moondog More Moondog Jazz | 4 Men With Beards | 180g, 1LP Released 30th August 2016 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Moondog More Moondog £27.00 Genre: Jazz Label: 4 Men With Beards SKU: 4M176LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 30th August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Chet Baker Chet Is Back Jazz | Speakers Corner | 180g, 1LP Released 13th May 2005 £34.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Chet Baker Chet Is Back £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Speakers Corner SKU: PML10307 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 13th May 2005 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Soft Machine Fifth Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 13th May 2016 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Soft Machine Fifth £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1599 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 13th May 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cannonball Adderley Cannonball’s Sharpshooters Jazz | Jazz Wax Records | 180g, 1LP Released 4th May 2010 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cannonball Adderley Cannonball’s Sharpshooters £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Jazz Wax Records SKU: JWR4502 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 4th May 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Terence Etc.
