Guy Berger Posted June 8, 2007 Report Posted June 8, 2007 I wonder what this would have sounded like with a different rhythm section. Guy Quote
Dan Gould Posted June 8, 2007 Report Posted June 8, 2007 I wonder what this would have sounded like with a different rhythm section. Guy Like shit. Who better than Gene Harris to play a set of late night blues? Its fine if people don't particularly care for this record, but there should be no doubt that it is the perfect combination of musicians and tunes. Quote

I like this album a lot, just asking an innocent question. Guy Quote
Shawn Posted June 8, 2007 Report Posted June 8, 2007 Well, Dan was "Gene Harris Fanatic" in the past...so don't be too surprised... Quote
Dan Gould Posted June 8, 2007 Report Posted June 8, 2007 Well, Dan was "Gene Harris Fanatic" in the past...so don't be too surprised... Exactly. You might as well be saying, "If the Three Sounds had a different pianist, MC would be reissuing more of their albums." Quote
Guest donald petersen Posted June 9, 2007 Report Posted June 9, 2007 maybe if you admitted that nexus has some funky tracks on it, the positive vibrations would inspire cuscuna to reissue more three sounds sessions, dan. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted June 9, 2007 Report Posted June 9, 2007 I wonder what this would have sounded like with a different rhythm section. Guy I think Tommy Flanagan would've fit well as the pianist, too. Maybe with Donald Bailey on drums and Sam Jones on bass? Quote

clifford_thornton Posted June 10, 2007 Report Posted June 10, 2007 Yeah... myself not always a "huge" Garland fan, but he would have worked with this one. Quote
Dan Gould Posted June 10, 2007 Report Posted June 10, 2007 What I'd like to know is if anyone is asserting that this album doesn't "work" because of Gene Harris and/or the trio. Quote
danasgoodstuff Posted June 10, 2007 Report Posted June 10, 2007 I am certainly not going to assert that the 3 sounds don't work here, they were after all the 4 sounds with a number of different sax players before they made it and I think their working unit togetherness is part of what makes this work (and it certainly does, IMHO). So I don't waste any time imagining others, piano bass or drums, here - it is what it is, and that's v. nice. So is ST at Mintons, as well as most of his BN work, but it ain't either or.... As a 'late night' mood thing it certainly works as well as Midnight Blue, although I am generally an 'album is a variety thing' guy... 9/10? Quote
The Rep Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Posted June 10, 2007 When put this forward as album of the week it was just my surprise at how nice it was and when I listen to it after such a long period of not owning it I got a lot of joy from the music. The funny thing is I did not think if only there was someone else playing the piano or bass or drums, I did not try to annualise this album but just enjoyed the music. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 10, 2007 Report Posted June 10, 2007 I did not try to annualise this album but just enjoyed the music. Quite right - it's music to be enjoyed. And very enjoyable it is, too. A masterpiece of its kind. MG Quote
