romualdo Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 just found this wonderful rendition of "In A Sentimental Mood" by Joe Harriott with The Stan Tracey Big Brass (1969) - is this the same version from the Columbia LP "We Love You Madly"? - sounds like it. Apparantly this is the only known live footage of Joe. also, a few Harriott related clippings from newspapers https://galacticramble.blogspot.com/search/label/Joe Harriott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasing the Korean Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Thanks for this! I know Harriott only through his Indo-Jazz albums (which I LOVE, incidentally). What other albums do you recommend by him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Form, Abstract, Hum Dono with early material on the double CD compilation Killer Joe plus Michael Garrick Quintet (October Woman) & Septet (Black Marigolds) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the feeling that the recording per the LP was done separately at Lansdowne. Same music, featured artists and band though. Don't forget 'Movement' and 'High Spirits' as well. Very rare LPs, put out on CD by Dutton Vocalion. Edited January 13 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought keeping Hum Dono in print would be a money spinner but it has disappeared from the catalogue. Owners retiring perhaps?

They seemed to lose interest in jazz quite a few years ago after putting out a motherlode on CD in the 2000s (most now sold out). Recent releases seem to be SACD, MOR and soul. I guess there is no money in it. Quality of their CDs is superb though. Edited January 14 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adh1907 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Absolutely, their Deram and Argo reissues were so good, you would be tempted to sell your original LPs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owners retiring perhaps? was going to suggest Trunk Records for the Hum Dono LP - Johnny Trunk released it once the Dutton Vocalion LP went OOP - pressing got good reviews Just checked the site & it looks like that one has gone too - poor Joe!!! https://trunkrecords.greedbag.com/buy/hum-dono-6/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put out a superb 2CD set containing the first four Friends of Distinction ("Grazin' in the Grass", etc.) albums a year or two ago.

colinmce Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 I would agree with everyone here, it's pretty straightforward. A LOT of Harriott has been scraped up for release over the last 10-20 years and while it's all nice to have, imo there's still nothing that tops the studio albums, especially Abstract and Free Form.
