Negative Positive
Title: Soul-jazz psychedelia
Review: Recorded in 1969, this record doesn't carry the reputation of a universally recognized, genre shifting classic as Miles Davis' "In a Silent Way" but Eddie Harris is a talent who deserves more attention than he gets. This record features his electronic saxophone modifications in the best light. What Eno would later do with Andy MacKay's saxophone on the first two Roxy Music albums, Harris is doing here, essentially. The cut "I'm Gonna Leave You By Yourself" just makes you want to stand up and shout "Yeah!" as the climactic solo wails on beyond and into ecstatic rejection of emotional negatvity. Eddie Harris is in my list of top 5 sax players ever, and this album is reason number one.
