Paul W.

Harry is well-known in many circles and geographies, many of them in the jazz mainstream, but his range is wide. A player of superb taste, his music shows an assured sense of swing and time while also exhibiting an assured freedom in his approach to establishing and varying the motifs that make up the muscle of his lines. In equal measures thoughtful and emotional, his music demands a listen. I say this having experienced both this album and Harry's playing live, when I was in the Washington DC area, where he is widely known and well-respected. The ensemble, too, from the DC area, features some of the very best personnel you'll find. This is a tasty album, and worth having in your playlist.
