"Eddie Harris Quartet - Live At Fabrik Hamburg 1988; Gatefold, 180 gram vinyl. This musician is simultaneously world-famous and unknown. The label Atlantic periodically re-released the recording of a very special concert he took part in and everybody who is somehow interested in jazz, even if only on its fringes, most probably has listened to at least one of the numbers performed by the saxophonist Eddie Harris. On June 21, 1969, he met with singer and pianist Les McCann on stage of the old casino of Montreux to unleash what can only be described as a firework of music, hardly ever experienced by the jazz community before. Situated somewhere between jazz, funk and soul, McCann and Eddie Harris actually create (this is no exaggeration!) something like a new style; and "'Compared to What', Les McCann's spectacular song oscillating between 'black consciousness' and the civil rights rhetoric, became the hymn of this movement."
