Abstract (album)


Abstract is the third album by Jamaican saxophonist Joe Harriott, recorded in England in 1961 and 1962 and released on the Columbia label in February 1963.

Reception

awarded the album 4 stars and in its review by Thom Jurek, he states "Abstract is wonderful; it shows that the Brits were taking the new jazz of the early '60s and placing a spin on it because they had a few players like Joe Harriott. Here is a musician deserving of a wide reappraisal. Let's hope he gets it".
