SOUNDS KIND OF WIERD. SQUIRE, WHITE, AND TONY KAYE ON ORGAN AND WINWOOD ON SYNTH. WHAT IN THE FUCKING ASS HELL IS THAT ABOUT. SO I GUESS WHITE PLAYED WITH KAYE BEFORE THE 80S AFTERALL
WHAT IF THEY PLAYED A CONCERT WITH EDDIE. THAT WOULD JUST BE WAY OUT OF CONTROL

At first glance, I read "squire" as "square".
And didn't bat an eye.
Remember I gave it a listen in a shop when it was first released, and thought it was the dullest Eddie Harris album I had ever heard. Didn't give it another try. I dunno ... the grooves were too weak.
Square and white, right? 
It's got some really good Eddie on it. . .imo.

Judging from your (avatar) background, Jim - square and white - I guess you know what you're talking about ......

Eddie was bad enough to give a good performance regardless of context - but the backup bands .....
part of the problem i hear is its just loose jamming. if eddie commisioned howe and squire to write a song for them it would be a whole nother story

Atlantic's producers had a lot of similar ideas in those years - remember Herbie Mann played with Reggae groups, the Muscle Shoals rhythm team a.m.o. - Robin Kenyatta with Reggae, Yusef Lateef and Rahsaan Roland Kirk with soul musicians ..... ? They probably got together in the studio unprepared and did just that - jam.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this Eddie thing a sort of "jazz response" to things like the Chess HOWLING WOLF U.K. SESSIONS, etc.?

... and the Muddy Waters London Sessions and the like. In retrospect, an unsucessful attempt at reconquering the market they had lost to the British invasion?
