by Les McCann & Eddie Harris

Thrown together at the last minute with almost no rehearsal at the Montreux Jazz Festival, this legendary pairing resulted in a lightning-in-a-bottle soul-jazz classic. Driven by McCann's infectious, gospel-inflected piano and vocals, alongside Harris' innovative electrified saxophone, the set famously birthed the socially conscious anthem 'Compared to What'.
