The Three Sounds • Good Deal

Good Deal is a typically fine record from the Three Sounds, who were beginning to hit their stride when this session was recorded in May of 1959. Like most of their records, it's laidback – even when the group works a swinging tempo, there's a sense of ease that keeps the mood friendly, relaxed and mellow. Balancing standards like "Satin Doll," "Soft Winds" and "That's All" with bop ("Robbin's Nest"), calypso ("St. Thomas") and originals, the Three Sounds cover a lot of stylistic territory, putting their distinctive stamp on each song. It's very accessible, pleasant soul-jazz and mainstream hard bop, but Gene Harris' masterful technique means that Good Deal rewards close listening as well.

Good Deal es un disco típicamente bueno de los Three Sounds, que empezaban a dar sus primeros pasos cuando se grabó esta sesión en mayo de 1959. Como la mayoría de sus discos, es relajado, incluso cuando el grupo trabaja con un tempo de balanceo, hay una sensación de facilidad que mantiene el ambiente amigable, relajado y tranquilo. Equilibrando estándares como "Satin Doll", "Soft Winds" y "That's All" con bop ("Robbin's Nest"), calypso ("St. Thomas") y originales, los Three Sounds cubren mucho territorio estilístico, poniendo su sello distintivo en cada canción. Es muy accesible, un agradable soul-jazz y un hard bop convencional, pero la magistral técnica de Gene Harris hace que Good Deal recompense también la escucha cercana.
