Mighty Like a Rose is the second album by American jazz saxophonist Eddie Harris recorded in 1961 and released on the Vee-Jay label.[1][2]
Reception
The Allmusic review states "Harris' playing strikes a balance between cool bop and straightforward soul-jazz, though it's possible to hear the influence of Detroiter Yusef Lateef beginning to creep in. It's all well-executed, and Harris' command of the highest ranges of his instrument is as lovely as ever, making this date worthwhile for anyone who loved the sound of Exodus to Jazz".[3]
