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 Reuben Wilson Blue Mode Jazz | Blue Note | 1LP Released 12th July 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Reuben Wilson Blue Mode £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 7753122 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th July 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ike Quebec Bossanova Soul Samba Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 21st October 2016 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ike Quebec Bossanova Soul Samba £21.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: LP84114 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 21st October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jacob Wendt Silver Street Jazz | Hayden Records | 180g, 1LP Released 1st November 2024 £43.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Jacob Wendt Silver Street £43.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Hayden Records SKU: HLP 8001 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 1st November 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Milt Jackson The Quartet Jazz | Savoy | 1LP Released 15th April 2016 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Milt Jackson The Quartet £13.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Savoy SKU: SVY16070 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th April 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Roy Ayers Daddy Bug Jazz | Atlantic | Miscellaneous Released 19th February 2010 £12.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Roy Ayers Daddy Bug £12.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Atlantic SKU: 1538 Formats: Miscellaneous Released Date: 19th February 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dexter Gordon Both Sides of Midnight Jazz | ORG / Black Lion | 180g, 1LP Released 17th July 2012 £44.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dexter Gordon Both Sides of Midnight £44.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ORG / Black Lion SKU: ORGM1062 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 17th July 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Joel Ross KingMaker Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 2LP Released 2nd August 2019 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joel Ross KingMaker £29.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 7785921 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 2nd August 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Thelonious Monk & Sonny Rollins Monk Jazz | Doxy | 180g, 1LP Released 30th January 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Thelonious Monk & Sonny Rollins Monk £17.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Doxy SKU: DOX853LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 30th January 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Joseph Bonner Impressions Of Copenhagen Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 18th February 2022 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joseph Bonner Impressions Of Copenhagen £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: TR114 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 18th February 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Chet Baker She Was Too Good To Me Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 14th January 2013 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Chet Baker She Was Too Good To Me £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP634 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 14th January 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
