Biography
Jody Harris has worked with such New York luminaries as the Raybeats and James White and the Blacks, but remains one of the most underrated guitarists on the scene.
Along with Robert Quine (Richard Hell's Voidoids, later of Lou Reed's band) Harris made the beautiful Escape, which drifts through a plethora of styles — Frippist drone tunes, jazz, country swing — and proves that these two consistently surprising guitarists are even more surprising than suspected. Though hardly rock, Escape has a vitality and joy missing in most music today, and so much fun it's sexy.
