Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Les McCann and Eddie Harris - Second Movement the second time around- Comment: I loved this when it came out when I was in high school , and lost it in the switch from LP to cassette to CD. Cannot believe I lived for 25 years without having it to groove to. Customer Rating: Summary: Eddie Harris & Les McCann Comment: I've been a fan of these two wonderful jazz artists for many years and I'll always be a fan. Customer Rating: Summary: oh, their funky souls Comment: Anybody who's around my age, 27, and has been grooving to bands like Karl Denson, Galactic, Medeski, Martin and Wood, Soulive and Lake Trout, should totally check out this disc. This is the way it was done back in the day, Eddie and Les are pioneers of this sound. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Funky. "Shorty Rides Again" will brighten your day. "Carry On Brother" is anthem for anyone with a funky soul. Les & Eddie are telepathic in their exchanges. I'd go as far as to say there are moments here that have Swiss Movement beat. Don't miss this...get on down!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Shorty Truly Rides Again! Comment: At the risk of dating myself, I've waited a long time for this one to return! My original copy, on LP has truly seen better days. Every cut on this CD is excellent, but I must acknowledge the significance of "The Universal Prisioner". What a message of motivation! "Shorty rides again", and again and again! This one is a classic!!!! More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Tenor sax great Eddie Harris and keyboardist Les McCann worked together on the classic jazz crossover album Swiss Movement, which contained the hit "Compared to What?" Their follow-up recording, Second Movement, however, never made it to CD. Producer Joel Dorn created Label M in order to bring this album and other neglected gems from the Atlantic Records catalog to a new audience. Harris's urgent tenor wailings mesh with funky rhythms and background vocals to give Second Movement a sanctified, churchlike feeling throughout. Combined with McCann's gospel-tinged singing on "Set Us Free" and "Universal Prisoner," the music attempts to deal with the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and jazz's waning audience. McCann's Fender Rhodes piano and the rhythm & blues underpinnings, however, serve mainly to give the music a '70's funk feel, when jazz was crossing over into rock territory. Given the rise of jam-band jazz, it seems that the Second Movement's second coming has arrived at just the right time. --Wally Shoup
