Eddie Harris was born on this date.

Here he is on one of my favorite pieces of music. Really, the composition, the lyrics, the energy, the passion, the social commentary, this song really does it for me!

Listen Here, Freedom Jazz Dance, Cold Duck Time, and Compared To What are modern classics of jazz funk.
His experimentations and innovations with electric sax were mind-blowing.
Watching old videos of his performances really brings out and showcases his passion for the music.
