This two-fer pairs two pivotal and seemingly conflicting recordings in the
career of Gene Harris as he entered the 1970s, a period that was to see his
trademark rootsy sound embrace the emergent jazz-funk. The first of these
albums, Gene Harris/The 3 Sounds, issued in 1971, gives us the bedrock
exploration of the sound that gave us his later 70s classics Astral Signal,
Nexus, In a Special Way, and Tone Tantrum. It was recorded in Los Angeles and
produced by George Butler, with Monk Higgins arranging, co-composing all but one
tune (a cover of “Eleanor Rigby”), and playing organ. Other players
included guitarists Freddy Robinson and Albert Vescovo, bassist Luther Hughes,
drummer Carl Burnett, Paul Humphrey on percussion, and Bobbye Porter on congas.
For fans of the original Three Sounds, the preponderance of vocals may be a
shock. They are often slightly off-key, and sung in a loose group style. But
they do add to the overall driving, funky sound that embraces rock, soul, and
pop, as well as jazz. (Check “I’m Leavin’,” “You
Got to Play the Game,” and “Hey Girl.”) Harris’
signature grooving piano is present throughout, but its contrast with Higgins
busier, often raucous arrangements is notable. Despite the dense
instrumentation, the instrumentals are smokin (Your Love Is Just Too
Much,” “What’s the Answer”).
Gene Harris of the 3 Sounds, released in 1972, looks back (perhaps in reaction
to its predecessor) at the jazz terrain hed explored in the 60s, but also moves
forward with some nice Latin and funky soul touches. Cut in New York, it was
produced and arranged by Wade Marcus. The players include guitarists Cornell
Dupree and Sam Brown, bassist Ron Carter, drummer Freddy Waits, and Johnny
Rodriguez on congas. On the surface, the tunes do seem to be a walk backward
toward his brand of mainstream jazz. But Harris was cagey; despite the mostly
organic instrumentation, the groove is right where it should be for the time.
There’s a deep soul-blues swing on John Lewis “Django,” a
percussive soul-jazz undercurrent on Benny Golsons “Killer Joe,” as
well as a popping Latin tinge in Ellingtons “C Jam Blues.” The
reading of Luis Bonfás “A Day in the Life of a Fool (Manha de Carnaval)
features a luxuriant interplay between piano, guitars, and shimmering cymbals
that is both lush and deeply soulful. Funk rears its head in a burning read of
Eddie Harris “Listen Here.” Pop has its place in a fine cover of
Bill Withers “Lean On Me.” Both include chunky wah-wah guitars,
strong backbeats, and conga breaks, while Harris walks the line between soul,
blues, and gospel in his soloing. Individually, these albums may be mere
curiosities; together they offer a compelling portrait of an artist in
transition.~Thom Jurek
