HARRY MILLER

In Conference

Ogun Records OG523 12" 33rpm LP 1978 (USA)


Harold Simon 'Harry' Miller (born 25 April 1941 in Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa - died 16 December 1983, in the Netherlands) was a South African jazz bass player.

Miller began his career as a bassist with Manfred Mann, and came to settle in London. He was a central figure in the mixture of South-African township music and free-jazz which dynamised the scene in London at the end of the sixties and into the seventies. Miller recorded frequently with musicians such as Mike Westbrook, Chris McGregor, John Surman, Mike Cooper, Louis Moholo, Keith Tippett and Elton Dean. At the end of the 1970s he went to the Netherlands due to economic reasons where he worked with musicians of Willem Breuker's circle. Miller also appeared on the album Islands by the progressive rock band, King Crimson, in 1971 as session musician.

The record label, Ogun Records which he founded with his wife Hazel Miller was vital for documenting that period, and is still active today.

A Note About Shipping To The U.S.
We are located in Canada, but have registered ourselves on eBay.com instead of eBay.ca because it gives us significantly better global exposure.  The problem with this is that eBay wants us to charge shipping appropriate to US, where media mail and other options make for fairly reasonable delivery costs. We tried it for a while but ended up losing money on shipping or having to cancel the orders because we couldn't afford to ship for those rates. To manage this we have set the US shipping to run a calculator based on an American location (we chose Plattsburgh as fairly close) and charging according to UPS pricing.  This avoids the cancellation issue, but appears to the buyer to be a prohibitive shipping cost and misrepresents the shipping as being only expedited. If you give us your postal code we will see if we can offer a more reasonable option, but generally we can get a single LP by air to most places in the continental US for $11, a few bucks less for ground.
Thanks for shopping Sir Helmitt,
