eddie harris isn’t a name that i hear very often, which is too bad, as it sounds as if he put on a great show.  this one also has constant bit of crowd noise that gives it the feel of a club; that can be good or bad, here i think it worked (though it needs turning up, or is it my ears?).  i knew i’d not listened to this in years as it was still in shn format (don’t see that much!)  which i’ve converted to flac.

updates
i originally downloaded jan-2009 from dime (#232127, seed by ‘abbcccus’) in shn format, and converted the files
to flac in jan 2020. as part of that, i slightly renamed the files from cd 1 to be consistent with the others
(though, would anyone break the show up into audio cds now?), created new checksum files and added this new info
file (original file retained).

  2. Hi Pete, Happy New Year and thanks very much for this. You’re right that Eddie Harris is talked about seldom these days, and I don’t really know the reason behind it – he was talented and productive and with albums such as Swiss Movement in the forefront of the fusion of jazz and soul, so he should be very popular. Thanks very much for the reminder – one of the many good reasons to visit Change is Possible! Cheers, MonkSphere
