About This:
The Heirloom Series of Resonance Records makes an auspicious debut with Gene Harris: The Quartet Live in London, an outstanding and unexpected addition to the late pianist’s catalog of buoyant, hard-swinging discs. Based on previously unreleased tapes provided by his widow Janie Harris, Live in London is also the only available recording of Harris in action with his British quartet. This group performed together exclusively in the U.K., where hometown audience support and remarkable musicianship elevated their performances to match standards set by Harris’s previous work. Most of these tunes have never been recorded by Harris before and none have been previously recorded in quartet ensemble.
