Many thanks Vesper; I have this on wax, but you saved me the trouble of ripping it for my IPod; this is a hell of a date.
the return of the king,thank you very much for spreading his word.
I think this is Billy's best record of the 20+ I've heard.
Git it.
Pasionate music this! A hell of a good record. Thanks
Many thanks vesper.
Anon, I have the Shepp/Brand duet. It's not OOP - readily available through Amazon. By the way, it's not really ethical to come with a wish list signing yourself anonymous.
Hi Vesper.
Always an education whenever I visit your blog. Thanks for sharing such rare gems. I am downloading this one as I write this.
I was curious if you are into Ornette Coleman or Cecil Taylor? They are both coming to Portland, OR for our annual Jazz Fest this year. Would love it if you could post something rare and OOP from either one of them.
By the way, I have a blog called Eclectic Grooves, where I have featured soem rare Jazz shows including a rare Evan Parker show in Portland, OR.
Please stop by when you get a chance.
Cheers, Kevin

Firstly, shame on you for being anonymous.
Secondly, I submitted vinyl rips of both Denon vinyl LP's of the Max Roach 4tet "Live in Japan" 21.1.1977 (with Harper, Bridgewater and Workman) to Dipmong of the Inconstant Sol blog some time ago, but they have not yet been posted there.
So why don't you abandon your anonymity, and send him a nice polite request to post them for you.
A little civility goes a long way.
vesper, thank you. this looks like a fantastic one. love Billy Harper, but his discs are hard to come by. Had a couple of chances recently to see him live and he's still playing great (especially an astounding show with Randy Weston). Thanks so much for the music here. there is always something wonderful to discover on your site.
I don't have much by Billy Harper, but I love everything I've heard. I've only seen him once and he's fantastic live. Thanks for posting this. I look forward to listening to it today.
Thanks for this. I've only heard limited Billy Harper since first hearing him play his composition Thoroughbred on a Gil Evans album. Looking forward to listening to this.

By the way, my blog is not solely music focused like Pharoah's dance, but we do put up music links semi-regularly. Please cehck it out some time.

I posted a comment a few days ago thanking you for putting this album up. Now that I've listened to it, I've got to thank you again. what an astounding record.
I have had this for years since hearing Billy play it live at Sweet Basil in NYC and I must agree that this is one Harper's best. The title track always gets me going.
Can anyone offer the kanji for "Soran Bushi?" I'd like to know what it means.
OK, I did a little search. Still not sure what "so-ran" means, but "bushi" means "festival" or "celebration." Getting there. Found some videos on Youtube with the music and dance. Really cool tune in its original form, and of course BH did a great adaptation of it.
Many, many thanks for sharing this superb Billy Harper recording. It's one of his very finest, no question.

Loverhood is just sooo nice! Thank u very much!
I've just thrown up a compilation on my blog, www.jonosaudio.blogspot.com, with a Harper tune I snatched from your previous share of his collab w Faddis.
All in all a roots based collection - some blues, jazz, oriental dub and modern swedish folk music. For the Pharaoh's Dance readers there is also the elegant mr Ellington's tune "Fleurette Africaine" to look forward to... Check it out!
Thank you so much!
A friend of mine turned me on to Billy Harper with his great "Somalia" record. Thank you for expanding my appreciation of this wonderful player!
Wasn't aware of this record before but it's great!! Many thanks!
Great, Thanks!
I think Billy Harper is woefully under-rated. Haven't heard this particular album, so thanks for posting it.
It's only taken me a year to get to this one :) What a fantastic album, thanks so much Vesper.
