专辑简介

Anthony Cooper (Louisville, KY United States)
　　I got this CD based on nothing more than the vauge memory of a positive review and David Binney's name. This was a very pleasant surprise. 6 of 8 songs have the additional guitar of Nguyên Lê. Unfortunately I'm not familiar enough with either player to tell who's playing what (they're seperated by channel, but it's hard for me to pick up the way my stereo's set up). They both have a fusion edge to them - some guitar tones are distorted. I really like the guitar playing, they're not afraid to say something. The compositions are also very strong, there are a lot of good melodies, and there are a lot of songs that get into free or very modern-sounding sections. The CD starts off with "You Bring The Rain", which has a plaintive melody and gets into some intense playing. "Blue Ghosts" is more melancholy, and "End Time" shows a David Binney influence. "The Refugee" and "Hudson Shining" have a slightly different lineup without Nguyên Lê and a different rhythm section adding piano and percussion. "The Refugee" is basically a long build. "Harbor" is a nice ballad. "American Bablyon" is the darkest, and the coolest song. There is a neat middle section with either guitar sounds or sound effects added later - it amplifies the mood. This is an excellent CD, though surely Joel Harrison's friends and fammily weren't surprised by that.
　　Album Notes: Personnel: Joel Harrison (guitar); Nguyen Le (guitar); David Binney (alto saxophone); Marty Wehner (trombone); Henry Hey (piano); Gildas Bocle, Stephan Crump (bass instrument); Jamey Haddad, Satoshi Takeishi, Jordan Perlson (drum).
　　Album Reviews: Down Beat (p.78) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Harrison plays smart and deliberate guitar, but it's the stylish ensemble playing on these performances that makes HARBOR a worthwhile listening experience."
