Billy Harper played with Art Blakey in the late 60s, featured on Lee Morgan's final album, and played with Max Roach and Randy Weston before recording a series of terrific albums under his own name in the 70s. Yet his work is poorly known! Like many US musicians he has mainly recorded for European and Japanese labels and many of these albums have disappeared having never made it to a CD reissue. Here's one of them.
Ripped from vinyl with full scans. Great review below!
Review by Michael G. Nastos:
A quintet recording for this incendiary tenor saxophonist. An extended, hard-blowing session.
1. Trying to Make Heaven My Home
2. Inside
3. Love On The Sudan

ReplyDeleteWhat a treat!... a BIlly harper album I've never heard.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this, grumpy......it's much appreciated.
Thank you for this. Billy Harper in standard pit bull mode ploughing and bulldozing his way through every chord, melody and musical nuance in his quest for elusive resolution. Ah, well. Am always mildly surprised that items you offer for general download are mostly superior to that which are obtained by link requests. Cheers, anyway...
ReplyDelete...who else than Billy Harper could be so far out and yet deeply rooted in blues at the same time?! I think his approach is inherited from Coltrane - it's that part of heritage they wouldn't teach you in the school. Spiritual jazz to the last note. Thanks for this!
