Harpers Bizarre 4 is an album by Harpers Bizarre (Warner Bros. 1969) Ry Cooder contributes on slide guitar. the song "Witchi Tai To" by jazzman Jim Pepper was given the group's smooth harmony veneer and mock-rococo production. Pepper, was of Native American descent, from the Plains tribes of the Kaw and the Cree. He came from a family of "road men", the peyote priests of the Native American Church. He was also a jazz saxophonist, playing primarily tenor sax (but also soprano sax and flute). encouraged by friends Ornette Coleman and Don Cherry, Pepper began experimenting with mixing Native American music and jazz, with interesting results. "Witchi Tai To" is a prime example of that blending, taking a peyote song he'd learned from his grandfather and putting it in a jazz setting.

This track from Harpers Bizarre, known mostly for Simon & Garfunkel covers, is a wistful little masterpiece. A perfect ephemeral moment.

I love this song... and this version with the symphonic undertones is sweet.... I seem to remember a version that had a solo sax part at the end...

Good, but I like the version that Bonzo Dog Band drummer Legs "Larry" Smith did as Topo D Bil.

This is the version I remember from my high school days. It always gave me chills and made me want to know more about it. Learning about it's origins makes it even more beautiful.

I agree Muhrvis. However, we have this avenue to share music and ideas, fortunately. A hoa

I can't imagine a song derived from a Native American peyote chant, sung purely to the glory of existence, and originally composed and sung by a Native-heritage jazz player, making it into the charts today. We've become far too superficial, self-centered, and uncaring about the big picture.
