Vibing off of Mare139’s Jam of The Week post with Miles and Coltrane, Les McCann (piano and vocals) and Eddie Harris (tenor sax and even an electric sax) are two of my favorite jazz players. They’re relative underdogs in the often snooty and purist jazz world, but man did these two have the funk. Collaborating on one of the biggest-selling jazz albums of all time, Swiss Movement (1969), their styles complimented each other perfectly. Here they are performing Compared to What in 1969.
And here is a link to download their second and last album together, Second Movement (1971).
