JOE HARRIOTT ~ FREE FORM EMARCY 538184 ~ UK ~ Jazz Jamaican born Joe Harriott arrived in UK in 1951 and very soon became one of the leading figures on the London jazz scene. A player of extraordinary technique and vision, he was one of the leaders of the UK free jazz movement and this incredible record is probably one of the earliest and best ever free jazz efforts recorded. Influenced by Ornette Coleman, but keeping a tighter grip on the melody, Harriott was a true pioneer and prophet. His untimely death resulted in very few recordings, therefore this one is especially important.
