New Vinyl Record – Harris, Gene – Live At The ‘it Club’ (Blue Note Classics Series)
The Three Sounds were one of the most prolific groups on the Blue Note roster from the late-1950s into the early 1970s. Led by pianistGene Harristhe trio was introduced on the label in 1958 and churned out a series of successful albums featuring their accessible, swinging sound. By 1969, the bands line-up had evolved to feature bassistHenry Franklinand drummerCarl Burnett, and their sound had evolved too. The blues and gospel roots were still there, but the rhythm had taken on a funkier edge with a contemporary beat, and in the studio they had been concocting more ambitious albums that were orchestral in scope with a fuller production style, such asElegant SoulandSoul Symphony. But in March 1970 they went back to basics with a rousing live recordingLive at the It Clubwhich captured the trio doing what they did best in front of a spirited crowd at the popular Los Angeles club. The LP version, which wouldnt be first released until 1996, presented a 5-song set of groovy favorites like Funky Pullett and Sittin Duck which were written by producer Monk Higgins.
