The Gene Harris Quartet • A Little Piece Of Heaven

Review by Scott Yanow

Gene Harris was always predictably excellent, particularly during his final decade. This CD has his quartet of 1993 (with guitarist Ron Eschete, bassist Luther Hughes, and drummer Paul Humphrey) performing such tunes as a soulful "Take the 'A' Train," the sly "Ma (He's Making Eyes at Me)," "My Little Suede Shoes," and even "Ode to Billie Joe." Harris, who is heard playing a concert in his adopted state of Idaho, often sounds in exuberant form talking to his hometown crowd. His fans will have little difficulty enjoying this happy date.

Reseña de Scott Yanow

Gene Harris siempre fue predeciblemente excelente, particularmente durante su última década. Este CD tiene su cuarteto de 1993 (con el guitarrista Ron Eschete, el bajista Luther Hughes y el baterista Paul Humphrey) interpretando temas como "Take the'A' Train", el astuto "Ma (He's Making Eyes at Me)", "My Little Suede Shoes", e incluso "Ode to Billie Joe". Harris, que es escuchado tocando en un concierto en su estado adoptivo de Idaho, a menudo suena en forma exuberante hablando con la multitud de su ciudad natal. Sus fans tendrán pocas dificultades para disfrutar de esta feliz cita.
