A tune for Eddie Harris "Ready Like Eddie"

Here's a tune from my most recent cd "Shout-Out!'. I wrote this one as a dedication to the great Eddie Harris.
I'm playing my 73xxx Selmer mark VI with an Otto Link Florida No USA 9* using a 3M Roberto's Winds reed.
It's a nod to his tune "Listen Here" but it has a beat more like "Compared to What" and I also have a long B section in the tune.
Hope you enjoy it, it was fun to record it with these guys who are some of New York City's finest!

Ed Cherry guitar
Carlo DeRosa bass
Diego Voglino drums

Very nice recording and a beautiful tenor sound. Thanks for sharing Jeff.

Hey man, thanks! Yeah this horn is the best I have ever owned for recording and for live playing too. It really has it all. It's dark and bright and gritty and smooth and punchy and mellow. It is something! Plus the engineer at the studio had this beautiful high-end ribbon mic and really knew how to record the sax.

hello from Switzerland,

great song, I love this kind of music. Many years ago I wrote a book about the music of Eddie Harris. Title: Eddie Harris sings the Blues. http://eddieharrisbuch.de
