Bass – Bill Dowdy; Drums – Andrew Simpkins; Piano – Gene Harris. Recorded Oct. 13, 1962.
Although the 3 Sounds initially recorded for Riverside, then switching to Blue Note for a solid run of recordings, this one is their first album for Verve. It was recorded in Rudy Van Gelder's Englewood Cliffs, NJ studio over a four day period (12 through 15 October 1962.) I have no idea why this album took so long, but it's interesting to note that Blue Gene was recorded in two parts, and one track during that session - Let Me Off Uptown - never made it into the album.
It was also their fifteenth album in four years, which shows how prolific and popular they were. They were also popular on the jazz club circuit and the tracks on this album reflect what they were playing to those audiences. Like their other albums, this one is a swinging, blues-infused collection of jazz piano trio tracks that have this group's distinctive sound. If you are a fan you are sure to love it. ~Moke Tarrano
