He also delivered outstanding performances on celebrated rare-groove classics by artists including Leon Thomas and Bobbi Humphrey.\u003cbr\u003eThis was the inaugural release on Black Saint, the Italian jazz label that would subsequently produce numerous masterpieces. Harper leads a quintet featuring Virgil Jones on trumpet, Joe Bonner on piano, David Friesen on bass, and Malcolm Pinson on drums. A masterpiece among masterpieces, the album allows listeners to fully experience Harper’s bright, sharply articulated saxophone over deeply satisfying grooves, while Bonner’s showering cascades of piano are equally exceptional. Every track is superb. Highly recommended. This is an EMI-distributed Italian pressing, apparently released sometime between 1976 and 1979.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA1: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20260723\/OMH26010800_a1.mp3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDance, Eternal, Spirits, Dance!\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2:\u0026nbsp;\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20260723\/OMH26010800_a2.mp3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCrouet Ballet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1:\u0026nbsp;\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20260723\/OMH26010800_b1.mp3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCall of the Wild and Peaceful Heart\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"organic music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53555546128608,"sku":"OMH26010800","price":7920.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/8073\/2616\/files\/IMG_1314.jpg?v=1784772876","url":"https:\/\/organicmusic.jp\/en\/products\/billy-harper-black-saint-4","provider":"PHYSICAL STORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
