‘The Greatest Invention’ is the third CD by Toronto guitarist and composer; Harley Card. A follow up to 2013’s ‘Hedgerow’, and his 2008 debut; ‘Non-Fiction’, it introduces eleven new compositions written for his long standing group; The Harley Card Quintet.
The music on ‘The Greatest Invention’ ranges from longer developed pieces to more direct themes that bring the soloists into focus and pay tribute to the tradition of the great quintets in jazz. The album draws inspiration from a range of musical influences, memorable places, and Harley’s deep interest in exploring the process of composition. The title track is inspired by the bicycle and the joy of cycling.
‘The Greatest Invention’ is an album unified both by Harley’s voice as a writer and the Quintet’s sound and approach, developed over the last twelve years as a working band.
