Billy Harper in Concert: Live From Poland

Considered one of the premier saxophonists of the post-Coltrane era, Billy Harper’s unique, soulful approach to Jazz is on full display in this full-length concert, live from Szczecin, Poland. Performing at the Metropolitan Basilica Cathedral of St. Jacob, known for its acoustic splendor and gothic brilliance, Harper showcases everything from Jazz, with his symphonic flair, to the mystical reach of Gospel Music.

While constantly evolving from the influential sound of previous Jazz generations, Harper has been careful to carve out his own sound rather than retrace that of music’s past, and in the process has consciously and continuously pushed the bounds and momentum of music forward.

THE CD-ROM: "The Creative Process of The Jazz Musician":
"The Creative Process of The Jazz Musician" is an interview with Billy Harper. It is a warm, intimate look at the jazz musician, some discussion of his life experiences, and actual footage of rehearsals in the attempt to illustrate how, and why some of his music is created. Some of the musicians involved in performances are Francesca Tanksley, Longineu Parsons, Newman Taylor Baker, Louie Spears, and Eddie Henderson.
This is a "first" in that this brief presentation endeavors to describe the mental process of the musician, that includes life experiences and how they influence the creation of the music. The CD-Rom includes a version of Quicktime, which can be downloaded to your computer.
