Recording of The Wheel
With the help of a grant from the Flagler Cary Trust we will record my 6 movement suite for string quartet and "jazz quartet" plus guitar. A sample live recording of the String Choir playing music of Paul Motian is available. More performances planned.

Legendary drummer Paul Motian may be less known for his composing than his playing. Harrison spotlights Motian's compositions with a new ensemble of versatile string players in arrangements that are often ravishingly beautiful, connecting the dots between classical, jazz, and folk music.

New Release on Highnote Records:
Street Date: April 24, 2007
Joel Harrison – guitar/composer
Nguyen Le – guitar
Dave Binney – sax
Gildas Bocle – bass
Jamey Haddad – drums/perc.
This recording was commissioned by the French American Jazz Exchange and Chamber Music America and includes French/Vietnamese guitarist Nguyen Le, and saxophonist David Binney. As with all Harrison’s music the compositions have a wide stylistic reach- the focus for this recording is the sonic world of two guitars: Harrison, Le (as well as Binney) all share a passion for the crossroads of jazz, rock, Indian, and African music where lyricism meets noise, Indian raga meets jazz harmony, and the after effects of electric Miles meets Messiaen and the Middle East.

Fred "Catfish" Alias: drums
Fima Ephron: electric bass
This body of work is inspired by the groove of people like James Brown, Johnnie Taylor, New Orleans 2nd line, Son House, etc., as it mixes with modern jazz sensibilities. Hardcore 4/4, sonic shrapnel, primal, menacing, soulful and fun. Expect fireworks between Binney and Mr. Lake, some poetry (hopefully) from Mr. Lake, free playing, and surprising harmony and metric shifts.
Oliver Lake's trio with Michael Gregory Jackson and Phaeroan Ak Laff was a major early influence. Mr. Lake has an astonishing discography involving all kinds of jazz, groove, and chamber music projects including The World Saxophone Quartet. Fred Alias is indisputably one of the funkiest drummers in the world.

I am excited to announce the World premiere of my composition for Four Percussion and Piano, Faith in Nights. The writing of this spanned almost 3 years. It is a 17 minute, 2 movement piece that spans an enormous range of rhythms and textures, and involves marimba, vibes, timpani, and all manner of non-pitched percussion.
FREE. My piece is 1st, so don't be late...
