I don't know man.. I think Eddie Harris is too underrated.. Which happens when people only pick up on his smooth laid back funk made popular during time spent with Les McCann and with his funk groups. In your lifetime you should find his fast stuff where you can't believe he is able to accomplish that with his hands and mouth. If he could play live for you I think you would agree.

Joshua is just as good as eddie Harris... Tooo different schools of improvisation..... They can show each other stuff Both Great Player

I agree I was just saying to ccpwrestling that he is one of the greats on the instrument and jazz scene. Up there with redman.

completely wrong. If you are going to compare Joshua Redman to someone before him you could name many of the greats whom he was influenced by (Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon, Ben Webster, Wayne Shorter). Those are the people that Redman can be compared to because you can hear all of their playing in what he does. Eddie Harris is a good player, but we are talking about the best of the best here. In that sense, Eddie Harris does NOT compare at all.

ARE YOU SERIOUS.... Eddie Harris is one of the greats way before Redman. I love them both, but Eddie Harris does compare to redman.

Ab concert is Bb for tenor. who the fuck is eddie harris? in no way does he even compare to joshua redman

no matter what key you're in rhythm changes isn't easy, especially at the speed they take it, each chorde has about 2 seconds to lead to the next chord in a I VI II V pattern

Eternal triangle bridge. dis man is da bomb!

Ab Concert would not be the key of C for a tenor. It would though be Bb... In my a opinion more challenging than C, yes. But whatever the bridge descends all funny. The Stop time is sick too... But I agree.. He's no Eddie Harris

As amazing as that is, a rhythm changes in concert Ab is in C for a Tenor, not a very challenging key. Obviously, that doesn't take away from its impressiveness.
