"turn up the heat for lowdown blues & ballads ~ Gene Harris"

J. Lovins | Missouri-USA | 06/06/2003

"What is there that makes us like Gene Harris so much? Could it be his artistry on the ivories ~ his personality ~ or the fact that he enjoys what he does and we enjoy listening to the final result. And that result is "God-given-talent" that he was born with and has fine tuned to perfection. Gene Harris has been my favorite Jazz Pianist from day one ~ the first time I heard him my senses became aware of his natural ability to convey Blues, Jazz, R&B, Pop, Easy Listening and hard pounding Funk all on one track if need be. When you hear Harris play you immediately know who it is and are drawn into his realm of enchantment through that unmistakable style of his.Concord Jazz has put together eleven selections from various albums that prove beyond a doubt, Gene was one of the top five "Jazz Pianist" in the entertainment field. So just sit back and give a listen to "NOBODY KNOWS YOU WHEN YOU'RE DOWN AND OUT", the great Jimmy Cox tune that Gene takes us on a funky blues ride that we're sure to enjoy ~ "AT LAST", take your favorite partner on the dance floor and hold them close, as Scott Hamilton joins Gene on this beautiful ballad ~ "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT LOVE IS", two great keyboard artists Jack McDuff (Hammond B-3 organ) and Gene Harris (piano) take this tune to another level of quality ~ "THAT'S ALL", always a favorite instrumentally, but what Gene does with this is truly amazing ~ "ANGEL EYES", probably one of my all time favorite saloon songs by Ella, Frank, Sarah and now Gene, not bad company to be in.If you haven't discovered Gene Harris by now, this would be a starting place. If you enjoyed this album ~ would suggest "The Best of the Concord Years" (2-CD-Set) (CCD2-4930-2) featuring none other than Mr. Gene Harris, it will simply knock your sox off ~ gotta love it!Total Time: 67:26 on 11 Tracks ~ Concord Jazz 2170-2 ~ (2/11/2003)"

AWESOME!
