Eddie Harris - Listen Here

[moboyenterp]

I had Listen Here jamming on my 8 track in my 65 Chevrolet Super Sport, on cassette in my 87 Toyota Pick up, on CD & iPod in my 07 VolksWagen...great music still to this very moment.

Very Bataclanesque!....haha...

1967?? Who else was doing anything that even resembled FUNK as we now know it at that time??

Blow boy blow!

@john42399 LET ME TELL YOU EDDIE MADE THE BEST TITEL IN HIS LIFE

[alexalot23]

one of the best jazz recordings ever made. eddie got out of that bag he was in and hooked up with les mccann, and history was made.

I was looking for this 15 years ago. A question, is there a CD version of the LP? Thanks to all.

[jazz4]

@rafael10010 I've seen the CD version in the UK. Only in London, England, though. It must be available online - it's sacrilidge if it's not.

[rafael10010]

@jazz4 Thank you veery much jazz4 I will try to get online, I'd had got a online version but diferent than this original LP. I THINK WILL BE LUCKY.

DAM GOOD SOUL!!

Saw Eddie around 1972 @ the Circle Star. He came on stage and made sounds by just manipulating his valves for about 20 minutes before he started . That was a trip

Thank you truemantiger for this beautiful post. I remember this tune from years ago, wish I could be more specific. Again, thank you.

And behold, the man who really invented fusion.

[rievans57]

@jplew138 you are so right. Bless you Miles Davis but Eddie Harris was tinkering around with about 5 years earlier than "Bitches Brew"...

[jmtappenden]

Great track! Many thanks.

@arevuwithme. He did have the first electric sax. First heard him play in SF in 68.

He showed off his invention during the set. It's basically a jack going from base of

the sax directly to the speaker. That night he played everything but Listen Here.

Without mentioning LH he said goodnight and left the stage. Everyone stood up

and shouted Encore! He came back and played Listen Here. We'd been had.

Great artist.

[jazz4]

Good to see this tune up, thanks.

@jazz4 Was crazy about this cut by Eddie! Did he have the fitst "electric" Sax?
