come on down is exquisite to my jazz tastes. it has dynamism and bluegrass/hoedown rythym that makes it immediately appealing and exciting. the reason i'm talking s..t is useless and not playable. it was a finger up to his record contract legal larceny and he responded in like kind. i found buying and owning this mismatch satisfying and play come on down as much as lee morgan or any other great music.

This album contains the following outstanding amazing Eddie Harris genius jazz songs: "Don't you know the future's in space", "Come on down!", and "Why don't you quit". You can download these songs individually if you want to hear for yourself. Eddie Harris is unique, and after you hear his music, you will know that "Eddie Who?" means Eddie Harris! His name is Eddie Harris!

Avoid this release. Disc one: "Come On Down!" is mediocre funk jazz. Disc two: "The Reason Why I'm Talking S--t" is the most tasteless, stupid crap I've ever heard. Evidently it was Eddie Harris's attempt at a comedy record, but the only funny thing about it is that Atlantic released it in 1976 and Collectables dusted it off and tried to hoodwink the public again in 2006. It's jaw dropping. Some people can handle this sort of material but Eddie Harris isn't one of them. I was tempted to toss it into the garbage can. Do your ears a favor and scroll past this.
