Not Feelin’ All Right: Guilt and Those Cheap Imported Box Sets

by Marc Davis
February 16, 2016

When I was in high school in the '70s, I bought a jazz record with an unusual request in the liner notes. The artist--I think it was Chick Corea--asked fans not to tape his record and pass it around to friends. He said (and I'm paraphrasing from memory): “If you like jazz and you ...

Introducing the Three Sounds – Blue Note 1600

November 3, 2014

This is the moment I've been looking forward to, and dreading. The Three Sounds. A piano trio I've heard of, but never heard. And what I'd heard about them wasn't entirely nice. I was sure I would hate them, but still I was very curious. The Three Sounds. Here's a band that was intensely ...

Jamming For Dollars

The History, Care, Feeding and Booking of the Jazz Jam Session“Fusion and the new stuff? It doesn't offend me, but a lot of the soloists sort of sound alike, like they all learned the same licks from the same school. When I was coming up in the 1940s, it seemed that every corner bar had a ...

On a purely non-musical basis, Blue Note's continued mining of releases from the catalog of The Three Sounds comes at a befitting moment, taking into account the recent and premature deaths of bassist Andy Simpkins and pianist Gene Harris.

The Three Sounds: Standards

by C. Michael Bailey
August 1, 1998

Uncontainable. It is often said in any generic biography about almost any jazz pianist that they were skilled in playing the blues. This may or may not be true. In the case of Gene Harris, he should be the definition of jazz blues. His playing has always possessed a muscular, intelligent, double-fisted character that appealed to ...

The Three Sounds: Babe's Blues

by Douglas Payne
April 1, 1997

Bravo for pianist Gene Harris, who seems to have recently and belatedly been discovered. After churning out dozens of fine records in the 1960s for Blue Note, Verve, Mercury and Limelight, then drowning in funk and disco records in the 1970s, he finally gave it all up and retired to Idaho. Bassist Ray Brown coaxed him ...
