Thanks for introducing me to Eddie Harris. I found Exodus to Jazz, For Birds and Bags & The Real Electrifying Eddie Harris on Bandcamp. Soon I'll no doubt be looking for physical copies. I liked the mention of Sharkey's Machine. I have a very serious addiction to film noir & neo-noir. My favorite neo-noir is Thief, starring James Caan. I don't know if you are a fan of Tangerine Dream, but they did the soundtrack for Thief. It's my favorite soundtrack. Thanks for sharing another great article. PS- today is Henry Threadgill's 80th birthday.

Excellent call on The Thief, Karloff. I have a similar addiction. From the same year, I like Fort Apache, The Bronx. Love Tangerine Dream. Thanks for remembering Henry Threadgill!

Thanks for walking with us....

I’ve never been a big Eddie Harris fan, but your essays always get me to open my ears a little more.

Hey C.L. - Such is often the case on the Big River called Jazz. Thanks for walking!
