Barry Harris, arguably the top bebop pianist of the 1970s, '80s and '90s, was particularly in prime form throughout his Xanadu recordings. The perfect player to interpret
Tadd Dameron's music (of which he had full understanding),
Harris performs eight of the influential composer's songs on this 1975 album with bassist Gene Taylor and drummer
Leroy Williams. Highlights of the highly recommended (but probably difficult-to-find) set include "Hot House," "The Chase," "Casbah" and "Our Delight." ~ Scott Yanow
