Review by Scott Yanow
The Three Sounds (pianist Gene Harris, bassist Andy Simpkins and drummer Bill Dowdy) were quite popular in the early to mid-1960s and recorded many albums, but surprisingly few have been reissued on CD yet. This Mercury LP finds the trio mostly sticking to bluesy material, plus a couple of Oscar Peterson tunes ("Blues for Big Scotia" and the joyous "Hymn to Freedom"). Whether it be "Glory of Love," "Willow Weep for Me" or even "Mississippi Mud," every song sounds a bit like the blues on this hard-to-find set.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Los Three Sounds (el pianista Gene Harris, el bajista Andy Simpkins y el baterista Bill Dowdy) fueron muy populares a principios y mediados de los años 60 y grabaron muchos álbumes, pero sorprendentemente pocos han sido reeditados en CD. En este LP de Mercury, el trío se ciñe principalmente a material bluesero, además de un par de temas de Oscar Peterson ("Blues for Big Scotia" y el alegre "Hymn to Freedom"). Ya sea "Glory of Love", "Willow Weep for Me" o incluso "Mississippi Mud", todas las canciones suenan un poco a blues en este conjunto difícil de encontrar.
