The Joe Harriott Quintet

• trifold digipak edition

Newly remastered from the original vinyl  with extended liner notes and new information. The Joe Harriott Quintet Swings High, recorded in 1967 & released in 1970, saw Joe returning to his hard bop roots on a set that burns with a rare light. A top band of British jazz players, including the UK's greatest drummer, Phil Seamen, and the sensitive and less-known-than-it-should-be trumpet playing of Stu Hamer, create a session that transcends the difficulties of its recording to create a timeless record, and from the point of view of pure playing, one of Joe’s very best. For the first time hear this classic album as it was first released.
