Alan Robertson has sought to put the record straight in Joe Harriott: Fire In His Soul, and has done so with relish. This book complements the Coleridge Goode autobiography, Bass Lines, produced last year by the same publishing house and is a must read for those interested in British jazz. Importantly the book makes no presumption that its reader is a die-hard devotee of Joe Harriott’s music; rather it seeks to present its case by force of argument, this the by-product of the author’s intent which, as he confesses in his introduction, was to slake his own curiosity.

But it’s for his unique musicianship that Harriott – who died aged 44 in 1973 – deserves to be remembered. Initially a disciple of Charlie Parker, Robertson reveals that Harriott experimented with free jazz (or free-form music, as the saxophonist labelled it) at a slightly earlier juncture in the late 50s than Ornette Coleman. Often, though, his musical explorations – which also included forays into Indo-jazz fusion in the mid-60s – fell on deaf and unappreciative ears, leading to disillusionment, alcoholism and, ultimately, an early grave.
