Soular Energy
Ray Brown, Gene Harris & Gerryck King are spectacular in this 1984 recording. Red Holloway (tenor sax) & a rare appearance by the great Emily Remler (guitar) round out the original musicians.
SA-CD.net review by JW May 16, 2003
“There are some tunes that no matter how many times you’ve played them, they always make you feel good”, says Ray Brown in the liner notes. And those words sum up the entire album for me. It’s full of standards, mainstream jazz, and it never fails to make you feel good. ‘Mistreated But Undefeated Blues’ is the only Brown tune, an upbeat number written a day before the recording session. On this track the trio get help from saxophonist Red Halloway and guitarist Emily Remler.
The group slowed down “Take The ‘A’ Train” to a ballad which was the first time I have heard this song played this way. Gene Harris’ soulful and swinging piano playing (“funky painistics”) really carries this tune. The good news is that his playing is like that throughout the album. I dare you to try and keep your feet still if you can…
The reason I don’t comment on Ray Brown’s bass playing is simple….what is there to say, the man is one of the all time greats, and I often call him the Oscar Peterson of the bass due to his light and melodic touch.
Soundwise Groove Note have delivered another winner. I give it a three to four star and not a five because I have heard SACD’s that sound even better, especially in the treble region, which is a a ittle hard here.
allmusic:
This album is important as an early milestone in pianist Gene Harris’ second career. Harris, who had led the popular Three Sounds in the 1960s, had been living in obscurity in Boise, ID, for several years before he was urged by bassist Ray Brown to come to the West Coast for some recording sessions. Harris became a permanent member of Brown’s regular trio for quite a few years before launching his own quartet. He had lost none of his technique, soul, or swing in the interim, as he shows throughout this fine release. Seven of the eight numbers (highlighted by “Exactly Like You,” “Teach Me Tonight,” and “Sweet Georgia Brown”) feature Brown, Harris, and drummer Gerryck King playing soulful bop, while “Mistreated But Undefeated Blues” adds guitarist Emily Remler and the tenor of Red Holloway. An excellent effort.
