Billy Harper
Billy Harper (born January 17, 1943, in Houston, Texas) is an American jazz saxophonist, "one of a generation of Coltrane-influenced tenor saxophonists" with a distinctively stern, hard-as-nails sound on his instrument.〔Chris Kelsey, (Billy Harper Biography ), Allmusic.〕
==Biography==
In 1965 Harper earned a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of North Texas.〔Office of Registrar & Alumni Records, University of North Texas, Denton〕
Harper has played with some of jazz's greatest drummers; he served with Art Blakey's Messengers for two years (1968–70); he played very briefly with Elvin Jones (1970), he played with the Thad Jones/ Mel Lewis Orchestra in the 1970s, and was a member of Max Roach's band in the late 1970s.〔 He has also been a frequent member of Randy Weston's ensembles, and in 2013 they recorded their first album as a duo, entitled ''The Roots of the Blues''.〔( "Randy Weston & Billy Harper on The Roots of the Blues" ), Open Sky Jazz, November 28, 2013.〕 Harper performed on Gil Evans' 1973 album ''Svengali'', and contributed two of the most-performed tunes in the band's repertoire: "Priestess" and "Thoroughbred".
Harper's 1973 album ''Capra Black'' "remains one of the seminal recordings of jazz's black consciousness movement--a profoundly spiritual effort that channels both the intellectual complexity of the avant garde as well as the emotional potency of gospel".〔Jason Ankeny, (''Capra Black'' review ), Allmusic.〕 The Italian jazz label Black Saint was launched with Harper's 1975 album ''Black Saint''. His later releases have mostly been on SteepleChase and Evidence.
