Big Band Harriott finds Michael Garrick scaling Joe Harriott’s music up to a roaring jazz orchestra, preserving the original’s sharp lines and Caribbean-inflected bite while opening them into rich new voicings, long arcs of tension and release, and solos that underline just how modern this repertoire still feels.
The cult British jazz pianist/composer/arranger Michael Garrick took compositions by the legendary saxophonist Joe Harriott and arranged them for a big band, on this 2004 album.
Eight of the tracks are taken from Harriott's "free form" period and the album is rounded off with "Cry of the Bitterne", a Garrick farewell to his old colleague, named after the Southampton churchyard where Joe was buried in 1973. Featured musicians include Garrick himself on piano, Steve Waterman, Matt Wates, Quentin Collins, Mick Foster, Alan Jackson and John Marshall.
