Joel Harrison - Harrison on Harrison - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Joel Harrison - Harbor [COMPACT DISCS] date 04/24/2007

Joe Rainey is a Pow Wow singer. On Niineta he demonstrates his command of the style - faithful to tradition - accompanied by cinematic, bass-heavy production from Andrew Broder. Rainey's voice can celebrate or console, welcome or intimidate, and each note conveys a clear message We're still here. We were here before you, and we never left.

In 1999 guitarist/composer/singer/arranger Joel Harrison relocated to New York City from the West Coast, where the multi-talented musician spent years leading various groups and ensembles, as well as freelancing as a much in-demand session player around the San Francisco area. His electrifying blend of creative jazz, modern classical and ethnic fusion has spawned seven critically lauded albums as well as numerous film and documentary scores.
