Recorded as a trio at the end of 1972, “Vicissitudes” is one of those albums that, being excellent and without knowing the explanation, go unnoticed in the discography of some musicians. Barry Harris himself, a formidable pianist who knew how to draw from the sources of bebop to keep his figure upright over the years (he died in 2021 at the age of 92), is, for many fans, an almost unknown musician.
The album brings together Barry Harrys with a defined style, in full creative maturity, and with enough experience to achieve very expressive, talented and swinging music at the head of his combos, usually a trio. Throughout the album’s eight songs, “Vicissitudes” features six of Harris’s own compositions and the remaining two are, of course, compositions by Charlie Parker, a musician that Harrys idolized.
Recorded for the German label “MPS” at the end of 1972, and reissued in Spain in 1981 by the Spanish Phonographic Company in its “Jazz Stop” series, directed by Juan Claudio Cifuentes, it is Barry Harris’s first album for MPS and had the faculty to choose his session partners, being chosen the excellent bassist, George Duvivier, and the drummer, Leroy Williams. «Renaisance», a symbolic title for a musician who went three long years without recording an album before this one, and the beautiful composition «And so i love me», are the highlights of the album, within the high level of all the albums. topics. Extraordinary.
