The Ray Brown Trio • Soular Energy

 

Review from AllMusic (by Scott Yanow):
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.

Resena de AllMusic (por Scott Yanow):
Este album es importante como un hito temprano en la segunda carrera del pianista Gene Harris. Harris, que habia liderado el popular Three Sounds en los anos 60, habia estado viviendo en el anonimato en Boise, ID, durante varios anos antes de ser instado por el bajista Ray Brown a venir a la Costa Oeste para algunas sesiones de grabacion. Harris se convirtio en miembro permanente del trio habitual de Brown durante bastantes anos antes de lanzar su propio cuarteto. No habia perdido nada de su tecnica, alma o swing en el interim, como demuestra a lo largo de este excelente lanzamiento. Siete de los ocho temas (destacados por "Exactly Like You," "Teach Me Tonight" y "Sweet Georgia Brown") presentan a Brown, Harris y el baterista Gerryck King tocando bop lleno de alma, mientras que "Mistreated But Undefeated Blues" suma a la guitarrista Emily Remler y el tenor de Red Holloway. Un excelente esfuerzo.
