Joe Harriott: Fire in His Soul Book

'Parker? There's them over here can play a few aces too.' Measuring himself alongside Charlie Parker, Jamaican alto saxophonist Joe Harriott had no doubts about his talent and abilities - and with good reason. A brilliant instrumentalist, he gained legions of admirers for his fiery playing in Britain and beyond before embarking on a quest to extend the limits of the music. His unique conception of free form heralded the emergence of contemporary European jazz. Later, with John Mayer, he pioneered fusions of jazz and Indian music. Neglected in his lifetime, Harriott's work is increasingly influential and widely acclaimed. Alan Robertson's book, based on extensive interviews with many of those who knew Joe best, gives for the first time a full account of the triumphs and tragedies of Harriott's remarkable life.Read More
