This two-disc set from Collectables features a pair of out of print LPs by Eddie Harris: The Versatile Eddie Harris and Eddie Harris Sings the Blues, both originally issued on Atlantic in the mid-'70s. Highlights among the 16 tracks include the Harris original "Love Is Here to Stay," "Eddie Sings the Blues," and the John Coltrane classic "Giant Steps." These discs provide an entertaining combination of soul, jazz, and hard bop. ~ Al Campbell
