Despite its 1967 release date, "The Tender Storm" sounds like it could have been recorded yesterday, a testament to Harris's pioneering work with electric jazz guitar.
- The album was recorded in a single session on June 16, 1967, at Atlantic Studios in New York City.
- Harris played a modified Fender Stratocaster through a Leslie speaker, creating a distinctive, wah-like tone years before the wah-wah pedal became a standard effect.
- "The Tender Storm" was Harris's first release on Atlantic Records after a string of albums for Vee-Jay Records.
Eddie Harris was an American jazz composer and guitarist known for his innovative use of electronic effects and his early adoption of the Rhodes piano. He rose to prominence in the 1960s, blurring the lines between soul, funk, and jazz.
