Episode One: Children of Harlem

Episode One: Children of Harlem is an album by saxophonist Gary Bartz which was recorded in 1994 and released on the Dutch Challenge label.

Reception
Scott Yanow of Allmusic said "Bartz (who is heard on alto and soprano) is in fine form playing with a top-notch quartet ... The hard-bop oriented music includes a few standards and three originals by either Bartz or Willis. It's not essential but enjoyable".
