Description
Killer stuff -- and an amazing album that not only showcases the varitone sax talents of Eddie Harris, but also features some fantastic arrangements by Chicago soul genius Charles Stepney! Harris plugs in right from the start -- blowing an electric sax that comes up with some groovy groovy sounds -- perfect for Stepney to work with on the backdrops -- mixing together funky orchestrations, off-kilter strings, and even some prepared piano, ala John Cage -- similar to the mode he used with Ramsey Lewis at Cadet! Tunes are wonderful -- offbeat, funky, and plenty darn soulful -- and titles include "Live Right Now", "It's Crazy", "Winter Meeting", and "Theme In Search Of A TV Commercial". © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.
The Allmusic review calls it "One of Eddie Harris's more underrated sessions... The only real fault to this enjoyable set is that the playing time is under 27 minutes".[3] The record was arranged by another Chicago musician, Charles Stepney, who was mainly associated with Chess Records as a staff writer, arranger and producer at the time. Atlantic's Joel Dorn produced the set.
