Eddie Harris - Sham Time (1968) soul jazz funk jam w/ sax legends King Curtis David "Fathead" Newman

This red hot funky soul jazz jam by Eddie Harris featured legends King Curtis, David "Fathead" Newman, and Ray Barretto. On March 20, 1967, Harris was in New York City recording his breakthrough soul jazz album The Electrifying Eddie Harris, which hit #2 R&B in 1968. “Sham Time" opened Side Two and was arguably the album’s masterpiece. Its special guests were the legendary saxophonists King Curtis (playing tenor) and Ray Charles' sideman David "Fathead" Newman on baritone sax. There was also another baritone sax player, Haywood Henry from Alabama. He famously played on over 1,000 rock’n’roll records in the 50s and 60s, often anonymously. Harris himself played electric tenor sax, equipped with a Varitone pickup and effects unit, which allowed it to be amplified without microphones and added various electronic effects. The Varitone was first sold in 1967, and this LP was one of the first studio recordings to use it. The overall result was four times more funky saxes on this cut than any normal track had a right to feature, and a jam for the ages. “Sham Time” also brought the funk with Melvin Jackson on bass, boogaloo and salsa pioneer Ray Barretto on percussion, and a pair of New Orleans trumpeters, Melvin Lastie and Joe Newman, who was not related to David “Fathead” Newman.
