Noted producer Joel Dorn discovered Harley and brought him to Atlantic Records, and to this day credits the success of the bagpiper's debut album, Bagpipe Blues, as the reason Nesuhi Ertegun invited him to become a full-time producer at the label. Dorn recorded both Bagpipe Blues and Scotch & Soul, in 1966, A Tribute To Courage in 1967, and King/Queens in 1970, before Harley parted with Atlantic.
Interestingly, all the facets of the bagpipes' sound appear on these four Atlantic albums: chanter alone, drones alone, and full bore with chanter screaming and drones wailing.
As Dorn remembers in the liner notes to this release, Any time back then when you did something that was slightly different, the regular jazz community looked at it as if it was gimmicky, or vaudeville-like. People looked at it as an oddity or a one-off.
John Coltrane once called Harley in the middle of the night and asked for lessons on the pipes, a set of which he'd recently acquired.
Courage contains the Atlantic albums Bagpipe Blues, Scotch & Soul, A Tribute To Courage, and King/Queens in their entirety, plus the previously unreleased Where Have All The Flowers Gone? and Pipin' The Blues from Sonny Stitt's Deuces Wild.
Courage: The Atlantic Recordings is available as limited edition of 3,000 copies.
