Is It In is an album by American jazz saxophonist Eddie Harris recorded in 1973 and released on the Atlantic label.^[2] It reached number 100 on the Billboard 200 chart.^[3]

Reception

The Allmusic review stated "Eddie Harris makes a radical turn toward electronic R&B on this popping, enterprising LP of grooves, humorous one-off vignettes, and other eclectic pursuits. Driven by a standard drum kit and tacky-sounding electric bongos, some of Harris' most irresistible grooves ("Funkaroma," "Look Ahere") can be found here".^[1]
