Album of the Day

That improvisation is the lifeblood of jazz is borne out by SWISS MOVEMENT. Pianist Les McCann and tenor saxophonist Eddie Harris were paired for the first time on this 1969 concert appearance but sound like they’ve been playing together for years. Highlighted by signature song “Compared to What,” this legendary recording sold more than one million copies and helped put Montreux on the international festival map. SWISS MOVEMENT belongs in any serious jazz collection and the painstakingly remastered 30th Anniversary edition features a previously unreleased track ("Kaftan") from the same historic performance.
