They Say All Music Guide

This disc has three selections apiece from 1966 and 1968 and six from 1973, all of which were previously unreleased at the time.

Highlights include “Listen Here Goes Funky,” the 16½-minute “Turbulence,” “Fragmentary Apparitions,” “Hey Wado” and “Oleo.” Harris switches between tenor, his electrified sax and (on “Turbulence”) reed trumpet; his sidemen include guitarist Ronald Muldrow, keyboardists Larry Nash and Richard Abrams and pianists Jodie Christian and Cedar Walton. This set is well worth searching for. – Scott Yanow
