I must get round to this one on Coleridge Goode too:

I'm very interested in reading this. I have only a couple of Harriott's albums (as well as Ken Vandermark's tribute to him) and am eager to learn more about the man & his music.

I (apprehensively) bought the Harriott biography today, by mail from the UK. Anyone read this?

Perhaps I was in search of a Harriott "fix", but almost all of his albums are too expensive. ;-)

Searching around the Forum, it looks like sidewinder read it and liked it.

And A Lark Ascending.

Excellent book - I read it when it first came out. I suspect the version you have is the more recent, revised version which I believe has additional material.

If I remember correctly I more or less read it in one sitting; it was that interesting.
