By request, Harvie Swartz - Underneath It All (1982)




This was requested along with some others from him I found and will share too.
The lovely cover photo shows the reflection of an autumnal treestump in a pond with a carp (koi).
The music is that typical intelligent ECM-like jazz usually called "contemporary jazz" augmented by a lovely cello in places, but not really fusion, my favourite style of music.  Information is here.  Most compositions are by Harvie, who btw is a bassist.  His output is quite significant.

Born : December 06, 1948 in Chelsea, Massachusetts.
Harvie worked with : Al Cohn & Zoot Sims, Mose Allison, Jackie Paris, Thad Jones, Gil Evans, Lee Konitz, Barry Miles Silverlight, David Friedman, Steve Kuhn, Paul Motian and others.
From 1980 he recorded also as a leader.

I really enjoyed this album and it is worth listening several times to catch all the ideas he put in it. The track called Firewalk:

      Thanks Julian, glad to fill this gap in my ReR Quarterly collection with their usual clanging and scraping - always a good aural palette cleanser!
