The Three Sounds • Feelin Good



The Three Sounds were one of the most popular artists on Blue Note Records during the late '50s and '60s, thanks to their nimble, swinging, blues-inflected mainstream jazz. Since their records sounded interchangeable and their warm, friendly jazz was instantly accessible, many critics dismissed the group at the time as lounge-jazz, but in the '90s, critical consensus agreed that the group's leader, pianist Gene Harris, was an accomplished, unique stylist whose very ease of playing disguised his technical skill. Similarly, his colleagues, bassist Andrew Simpkins and drummer Bill Dowdy, were a deft, capable rhythm section that kept the group in an appealing, bluesy groove. That groove was so appealing that The Three Sounds maintained a large fan following into the late '60s. During the group's prime period -- from their 1958 debut for Blue Note to the departure of Dowdy in 1967 -- The Three Sounds cut an enormous number of records. Many records hit the shelves, while others stayed in the vaults, to be issued at a later date. Through it all, the trio's sound remained essentially the same, with no real dip in quality until the group began to splinter in the late '60s.

The Three Sounds fue uno de los artistas más populares en Blue Note Records durante los últimos años de la década de los 50 y los 60, gracias a su ágil y dominante jazz dominante. Debido a que sus discos sonaban intercambiables y su cálido y amigable jazz era accesible al instante, muchos críticos desestimaron al grupo en su momento como lounge-jazz, pero en los años 90, el consenso crítico estuvo de acuerdo en que el líder del grupo, el pianista Gene Harris, era un gran éxito. Estilista único cuya facilidad de juego disfrazó su habilidad técnica. Del mismo modo, sus colegas, el bajista Andrew Simpkins y el baterista Bill Dowdy, eran una hábil y hábil sección de ritmos que mantenían al grupo en un atractivo ritmo de blues. Ese ritmo era tan atractivo que The Three Sounds mantuvo un gran número de seguidores hasta finales de los sesenta. Durante el período principal del grupo, desde su debut en 1958 para Blue Note hasta la salida de Dowdy en 1967, The Three Sounds cortó una enorme cantidad de récords. Muchos registros llegan a los estantes, mientras que otros permanecen en las bóvedas y se emiten en una fecha posterior. A pesar de todo, el sonido del trío se mantuvo esencialmente igual, sin una disminución real de la calidad hasta que el grupo comenzó a dividirse a fines de los años sesenta.
