Eddie Harris - Theme in Search of a Movie - Great, but is it Jazz?
Although Tenor Saxophonist Eddie Harris got paned by critics for his commercial success outside the Jazz establishment, he knew how to write and perform a mean song. Theme in Search of a Movie seems to borrow as much from Burt Bacharach as Bill Evans, and succeeds as a statement independent of any one genre.
“What sort of movie are we talking about?”
Maybe a James Bond film? A psychological thriller? Maybe weekend at Berny’s III? Surreal horizons and tropical breezes, magical strings, an unspoken current, warm and gentle. They point South, the drums click, lead the way. Eddie maps the territory with a throaty sax and the aid of some well placed piano chords.
Sounds like the love child of: Burt Bachararch and Stan Getz
