I'm going to be off the grid for awhile and hitting the beach here shortly, so check this one out until I return...
Here's some rare footage of the great Joe Harris with Sonny Rollins and Henry Grimes on bass to check out:
I've only really known Harris from his work with Dizzy Gillespie's big band but, as you can see here, he was equally comfortable in small groups as well and fits perfectly with Rollins' chord-less, trio configuration. Check out those creative, swinging fours between Harris and Rollins.
