Artist Bio:
Les McCann and Eddie Harris were American jazz musicians who collaborated on the iconic album "Swiss Movement" in 1969. The album was recorded live at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland and featured the hit song "Compared to What," which became a jazz standard. McCann, a pianist and vocalist, brought a soulful and bluesy touch to the music, while Harris, a saxophonist, added his innovative and funky style to the mix. Their collaboration on "Swiss Movement" was a groundbreaking fusion of jazz, soul, and funk that resonated with audiences around the world.


Les McCann and Eddie Harris continued to perform and record music separately after their collaboration on "Swiss Movement," but the album remains a highlight of both of their careers. Their work together showcased their musical chemistry and improvisational skills, earning them critical acclaim and a lasting legacy in jazz history.
