"Eddie Harris should have received Best Jazz Award o f the Year, for the
brilliant performance he gave at Jazz De Opus, in Portland, Oregon last
year.”
A ! Williams. Portland Observer Newspaper, Portland, Oregot.
" I f this was hype, if 1 wasn't for real, I'd still play "Exodus. " I'm one o f
the tew people in this country who’ s doing what he wants to do...l keep
graduating to new things and moving on to new ideas-only after I ’ ve
mastered the old ones. Complacency is such a drag...it’s also a hell o f a lot
easier to be creative i f you avoid the popular conception of what a musician's
proper image should be...images just lim it the degree to which a person can
go outside, step out beyond the norm. I f you keep your .mage free, you can
get into anything you want to ."

...the Chicago-born Harris is one of the best tenor saxists on the scene
'oday. he presents a textbook example of how to play the sax, striking each
key with a minimum o f motion and maximum efficiency.”
Harris has been an eclectic and it has worked to his advantage, for out of
this broad range o f inspirations and influences has come a sound and a style
that cannot be mistaken for anyone but Eddie H arris."
