5.0 out of 5 stars "New" Gene Harris - Don't Miss It!, January 15, 2010

Another Night in London, like Live in London, documents Gene's "English Quartet". But most importantly, 10 years after his death, we are blessed to get another posthumous recording. While both are essential documents of Gene stretching out in a live setting with a superlative rhythm section, I think I like this one just a bit better, for this reason: More blues. By that I mean, while Gene always brought the blues and gospel to almost any song, the set list here is even more conducive to that part of Gene's playing.

I have to give a big raspberry to Concord/Fantasy for being so foolish as to refuse Gene's widow, Janie Harris's offer of these recordings. Gene made Concord a great deal of money while he was alive and I am sure he was one of their most popular artists. Being a Concord recording artist at the time, Concord/Fantasy has right of first refusal for any commercial recording made during that time. Why would they decline the chance to continue the success they had? Everything changed after Carl Jefferson died, and now Concord has fallen even further in my eyes.

With Concord-Fantasy behind it, this recording might make a bigger impression, but all the credit goes to Resonance Records for jumping at the opportunity to release this gem, and to Janie Harris for continuing to keep Gene's memory, and music, in the public eye.

May they both continue for a very, very long time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great recording, just a bit too much bass, June 27, 2010

Gene Harris is as fantastic as ever, so it is too bad he didn't live to realize how much we appreciate work he never knew would be published. My only negative comment about this recording is I feel the bass was too strong.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite as tight, May 19, 2010

The piano is unmistakably Gene, but the back-up musicians are not quite as tight as those with whom Gene Harris recorded here stateside. Still very enjoyable and a definite keeper!
