Episode Synopsis

"Eddie (Harris) was an enigma. He was also a soulful intellectual. He was an innovator who had hit records. He was a success, but he didn't appear all that popular. I think he must have had 3 audiences in one. Each person seeing something different in his music, and that's problematic to navigate in. But he was who he was. He was a creative force with many talents and interests."   Saxophonist/bandleader/composer Eric Person
 
We couldn't put it better ourselves, so how about if we give Eddie Harris a good, hard listen?  This Monday (5/12) from 6p to 9p NYC time, host Mitch Goldman invites Eric Person to the WKCR studios for a powerful Deep Focus.  If only they had rare, unreleased recordings of Eddie Harris from the WKCR archives.  Hmmm... We'll have to work on that!
 



 Tune in this Monday (4/27) from 6pm to 9pm NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD or wkcr.org.
