Ray Brown Trio • Soular Energy

 

 

This album is important as an early milestone in pianist Gene Harris' second career. Harris, who had led the popular Three Sounds in the 1960s, had been living in obscurity in Boise, ID, for several years before he was urged by bassist Ray Brown to come to the West Coast for some recording sessions. Harris became a permanent member of Brown's regular trio for quite a few years before launching his own quartet. He had lost none of his technique, soul, or swing in the interim, as he shows throughout this fine release. Seven of the eight numbers (highlighted by "Exactly Like You," "Teach Me Tonight," and "Sweet Georgia Brown") feature Brown, Harris, and drummer Gerryck King playing soulful bop, while "Mistreated But Undefeated Blues" adds guitarist Emily Remler and the tenor of Red Holloway. An excellent effort.

Este álbum es importante como un hito inicial en la segunda carrera del pianista Gene Harris. Harris, que había liderado el popular Three Sounds en los años 60, había estado viviendo en la oscuridad en Boise, ID, durante varios años antes de que el bajista Ray Brown le instara a venir a la Costa Oeste para algunas sesiones de grabación. Harris se convirtió en un miembro permanente del trío regular de Brown durante varios años antes de lanzar su propio cuarteto. No había perdido nada de su técnica, alma o swing en el ínterin, como lo demuestra a lo largo de este magnífico lanzamiento. Siete de los ocho números (destacados por "Exactly Like You", "Teach Me Tonight" y "Sweet Georgia Brown") presentan a Brown, Harris y al baterista Gerryck King tocando bop soul, mientras que "Mistreated But Undefeated Blues" añade a la guitarrista Emily Remler y al tenor de Red Holloway. Un excelente esfuerzo
