Les McCann & Eddie Harris – Swiss Movement (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival in June 1969, this live summit between pianist Les McCann and tenor saxophonist Eddie Harris became one of Atlantic Records' best-selling jazz albums, arriving at exactly the moment when soul, funk, and hard bop were colliding in ways that would reshape the music. McCann's vocal on "Compared to What," Eugene McDaniels' blistering protest lyric intact, turned a festival set into a document of its cultural moment.
Compared To What is a catchy melody that is heard on the radio, again and again, all around the world, today, tomorrow and the day after. It is unmistakable, still groovy, full of soul, humorous, stirring. And ""Cold Duck Time"" is no way inferior: Eddie Harris blows for all he is worth. Everyone can hear that Benny Bailey was challenged by the unknown themes, but this maestro still managed to capture the audience's ear and attention. ""Swiss Movement"" is, and will remain forever, a highlight among all the jazz LPs that have been recorded live and it shouldn't be missing from any collector's shelf.
