Biography

One of the most accessible of all jazz pianists, Gene Harris' soulful style (influenced by Oscar Peterson and containing the blues-iness of a Junior Mance) was immediately likable and predictably excellent. After playing in an Army band (1951-1954), he formed a trio with bassist Andy Simpkins and drummer Bill Dowdy which was, by 1956, known as the Three Sounds. The group was quite popular, and… Read more in Amazon's Gene Harris Store

5.0 out of 5 stars gene harris et. al. at the top of their games, January 8, 2000

This review is from: It's Real Soul: Live Manchester Craftsmen's Guild (Audio CD)
Hard to believe I am the first to review this album. A gem from the opening number Summertime. Listen to this group groove! I recommend this album to anyone who enjoys good (really really good) jazz piano with an ENSEMBLE and I put ensemble in caps to emphasize their solid performance as a group. Buy this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars "soul, blues, jazz and the groove - spells Gene Harris", March 2, 2001
This review is from: It's Real Soul: Live Manchester Craftsmen's Guild (Audio CD)
There are few happier sounds in jazz than hearing pianist Gene Harris get into a soulful groove. Famous in the '60s for leading the "Three Sounds", Harris spent a period in the late '70s out of the limelight, returned as a member of the Ray Brown Trio and has been leading his own exciting groups since hooking up with Concord in the mid '80s. His joyous blend of jazz, soul, blues and groove music is impossible to dislike - or forget!

Opening track gives you behind-the-scenes-insight to this great jazz pianist - Harris is completely spellbinding with everything on the table, he shines brighter than any artist to sit at the keyboard. Playing from the heart - God-given-talent who just wants to make people happy.

Hats off to - Concord, John Burke and Allen Farnham (producers) for this trip down memory lane with America's original music - JAZZ...and the "ambassador of the keyboard" - GENE HARRIS!

Total Time: 64:11 on 8 Tracks...Concord Jazz CCD-4692...(1996)

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Harris, July 19, 2005
This review is from: It's Real Soul: Live Manchester Craftsmen's Guild (Audio CD)
This is the artists that my family takes along on road trips. Now my children MUST have Gene Harris for the road. His interpretation and the "tags" on his selections are both driving and mellow. He's still hip with my 20 something kids!
