The Joe Harriott Quintet Movement (60th Anniversary)
Jamaican/British jazz saxophonist Joe Harriott’s album "Movement" is finally available again ony vinyl 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, copied directly from the original stereo analogue master tapes (previously only the mono version has been on vinyl).
"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.
