Posi tone, 2017. New Copy ... $11.99 17.98
The debut album from Bruce Harris – a tight trumpeter that we'll certainly be hearing from in years to come, working here with an all-star group of musicians that really help the leader shine! The core group is a quartet – with Michael Weiss on piano, Clovis Nicolas on bass, and Pete ... read more CD

OTC, 1985. Near Mint- ... $19.99
Trombonist Craig Harris leads a nice soulful set of musicians that includes Billy Higgins, Vincent Chaney, Don Moye, and Olu Dara on this set of "tributes" to some of the greats. The groove is pretty straight ahead, but with some slight avant flourishes from time to time, and a NYC 1980s ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Dinner Music For A Pack Of Hungry Cannibals ... LP Decca, 1958. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A classic session of music from the mighty Raymond Scott – performed here by a small combo led by Scott's old tenor player Dave Harris! All of the tunes here were written by Scott, and many are of the vintage that stretches back to his cool cartoon work – those jaunty, jagged little ...

Atlantic, 1973. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... $11.99
A super-long batch of messed-up funky jazz from Eddie Harris! The record's got Eddie working all aspects of the electric sax – in a similar style to some of his other work on the best Atlantic albums of the 70s (like Instant Death of Plug It In) – and the group features a shifting cast ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Vee Jay, Mid 60s. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
One of the true hit jazz albums of the 60s, and a record that's still pretty darn incredible today! Who'd have thought that a jazz recording of the theme to the film "Exodus" could have been such a hit? It was, and the way Eddie handled it forever transformed the face of jazz. Eddie ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(70s blue label pressing.)
Atlantic, 1970. Very Good+ ... $5.99
Often overlooked, but a nice little record from Eddie's early electric period on Atlantic! The group is a very soulful one made up of Jodie Christian on electric piano, Louis Spears on bass, Billy Hart on drums, and Felix Henry on percussion. The overall sound is more restrained than some of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

I Need Some Money ... LP Atlantic, 1975. Very Good- ... $0.99
A nice little funk album from Eddie – one that shouldn't work, but does nicely, thanks to a unique approach to the groove! Eddie's still playing plenty of electric sax on the set – and is going for a sound here that's equal parts soul jazz, modal groove, and down and dirty funk! The ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a promo sticker and some pen.)
RCA, 1978. Very Good+ ... $9.99
Less of a jazz album than some of Eddie's other records – but that's ok with us! As a soul album, the record's actually pretty darn great – arranged and produced by Richard Evans with a late Chicago soul approach that has Eddie's funky sax stepping amidst some larger orchestrations and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
