Strange as it seems, organist Jimmy Smith and tenor saxophonist Eddie Harris have to this date only played together once. Their recorded collaboration at San Francisco's Keystone Korner in 1981 has recently been released for the first time by Milestone on All the Way Live. Harris (who utilizes an electrified tenor) and Smith (along with drummer Kenny Dixon) jam a couple of blues, the funky "8 Counts for Rita" (which has some audience participation) and three familiar standards. The recording quality is not state-of-the-art but is certainly listenable and the high level of the playing overcomes any technical deficiencies. Essentially a hard bop stylist, Eddie Harris's brilliance and originality are sometimes hidden under his innovative use of electronics but he has long had his own sound while Jimmy Smith is the originator of his very influential style. Highlights of the date include "Autumn Leaves," "A Child Is Born" and "Old Folks" and this live set easily surpasses Smith and Harris's studio recordings of the time period. A reunion is long overdue.

Traducción Automática:
Por extraño que parezca, el organista Jimmy Smith y el saxofonista Eddie Harris han tocado en esta fecha solo una vez. Su colaboración grabada en Keystone Korner de San Francisco en 1981 se lanzó recientemente por primera vez por Milestone en All the Way Live. Harris (que utiliza un tenor electrificado) y Smith (junto con el baterista Kenny Dixon) improvisan un par de blues, el funky "8 Counts for Rita" (que tiene cierta participación del público) y tres estándares familiares. La calidad de la grabación no es moderna, pero sí se puede escuchar y el alto nivel de reproducción supera cualquier deficiencia técnica. Esencialmente un estilista de hard bop, la brillantez y la originalidad de Eddie Harris a veces se ocultan bajo su uso innovador de la electrónica, pero durante mucho tiempo ha tenido su propio sonido, mientras que Jimmy Smith es el creador de su estilo muy influyente. Los aspectos más destacados de la fecha incluyen "Autumn Leaves", "A Child Is Born" y "Old Folks" y este set en vivo supera fácilmente las grabaciones de estudio de Smith y Harris del período. Un reencuentro está muy atrasado.
