Originally released in 1967, the album has been in heavy, heavy demand for over 30 years, entirely down to the majestic soul-jazz fire of \"Harlem Hendoo.\" And it's a song so good, so vital, so timeless, that it will always tower above everything else in its proximity. However, it would be an error to dismiss this record as merely a one tracker, loaded as it is with dope samples for adventurous beat makers. Certainly the funkiest Al Hirt record, it definitely lives up to the \"soul\" in the title. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThanks to composer \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaul Griffin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e?and arranger?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eTeacho Wiltshire\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Hirt got uncharacteristically free and groovy throughout.?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSoul In The Horn\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e?represented an expressive detour into authentic soul-jazz for Al Hirt. Throughout is a fiery energy that's otherwise absent from his typically easy listening work. Without question, the slinky, magical \"Harlem Hendoo\" is the standout, here. It's also the reason why the record is so scarce and commands awe among crate diggers, sounding like something from an obscure and deeply revered spiritual jazz record. As is often the case, the true genius of the song is tricky to do justice to; it's like a minor miracle of songwriting and performance that simply swooned down from the heavens on the back of horns, bells and harpsichord. It's one of the sweetest musical compositions ever recorded inside a studio.
