██ The Three Sounds were one of the most popular artists on ██
██ Blue Note Records during the late '50s and '60s, thanks to ██
██ their nimble, swinging, blues-inflected mainstream jazz. ██
██ Since their records sounded interchangeable and their warm, ██
██ friendly jazz was instantly accessible, many critics ██
██ dismissed the group at the time as lounge-jazz, but in the ██
██ '90s, critical consensus agreed that the group's leader, ██
██ pianist Gene Harris, was an accomplished, unique stylist ██
██ whose very ease of playing disguised his technical skill. ██
██ Similarly, his colleagues, bassist Andrew Simpkins and ██
██ drummer Bill Dowdy, were a deft, capable rhythm section that ██
██ kept the group in an appealing, bluesy groove. That groove ██
██ was so appealing that the Three Sounds maintained a large ██
██ fan following into the late '60s. During the group's prime ██
██ period -- from their 1958 debut for Blue Note to the ██
██ departure of Dowdy in 1967 -- the Three Sounds cut an ██
██ enormous number of records. Many records hit the shelves, ██
██ while others stayed in the vaults, to be issued at a later ██
██ date. Throughout it all, the trio's sound remained ██
██ essentially the same, with no real dip in quality until the ██
██ group began to splinter in the late '60s. ██
██ ██
██ Gene Harris was at the center of the Three Sounds throughout ██
██ its entire existence. A native of Benton Harbor, Michigan, ██
██ he began playing piano as a child, performing in public at ██
██ the age of six. He soon became distracted by boxing and ██
██ sports, but he continued to perform music, occasionally in a ██
██ trio with drummer Bill Dowdy. After they graduated from high ██
██ school in 1951, both Harris and Dowdy joined the Army and ██
██ were assigned to different units. However, both men were ██
██ discharged in 1954, and after they left the Army, they began ██
██ pursuing different musical careers. Harris played with a ██
██ variety of bands throughout the South and Midwest, while ██
██ Dowdy moved to Chicago and played with a number of blues and ██
██ jazz bands. Two years later, both musicians happened to ██
██ settle in South Bend, Indiana and decided to form a band ██
██ called the Four Sounds with bassist Andrew Simpkins and a ██
██ tenor saxophonist. After running through a number of tenor ██
██ saxophonists unsuccessfully, the three musicians decided to ██
██ jettison the horn from their group and become the Three ██
██ Sounds. For the next two years, the group played regularly ██
██ at Midwest venues, particularly in Ohio. They played as a ██
██ trio, and they also supported such soloists as Lester Young ██
██ and Sonny Stitt. During this time, Horace Silver became a ██
██ fan of the group and recommended them to Alfred Lion, the ██
██ head of Blue Note. Despite the good word, the group remained ██
██ unsigned. They toured with Stitt and relocated to ██
██ Washington, D.C., where they worked as a trio and as a ██
██ rhythm section for touring soloists; during this time, they ██
██ played with such musicians as Miles Davis and Kenny Burrell. ██
██ In the fall of 1958, they moved to New York to work with ██
██ Stitt. Shortly after the moved to the city, the signed to ██
██ Blue Note, in addition to supporting Nat Adderley on a ██
██ Riverside session. ██
██ ██
██ The Three Sounds cut their first album for Blue Note in ██
██ September of 1958. That record, Introducing the Three ██
██ Sounds, became an unexpected success among record buyers, ██
██ and the group's live performances earned fans like Horace ██
██ Silver, Sonny Stitt, Miles Davis and Cannonball Adderley, ██
██ even if critics tended to dismiss the group. In particular, ██
██ a Down Beat reviewer panned the album, but that didn't stop ██
██ the public from buying the record, which soon became one of ██
██ the most popular jazz records of its years. Blue Note had ██
██ the band re-enter the studio in February of 1959 to cut ██
██ their second album, Bottoms Up. It was the third of a total ██
██ of 17 sessions at Rudy Van Gelder's studio (Introducing had ██
██ taken two sessions to complete). At one point, Harris ██
██ estimated that the group has released 35 albums worth of ██
██ material, with many left in the vaults. During their first ██
██ stint at Blue Note, they released the following, in addition ██
██ to Introducing and Bottoms Up: Good Deal, Feelin' Good, ██
██ Moods, Here We Come, It Just Got to Be, Hey There!, Out of ██
██ This World, and Black Orchid. The Three Sounds also ██
██ supported such Blue Note artists as Stanley Turrentine and ██
██ Lou Donaldson on several recording dates. ██
██ ██
██ The Three Sounds continued successfully on Blue Note until ██
██ 1962, when they switched labels shortly after recording ██
██ Black Orchid. They cut one album, Blue Genes, for Verve, ██
██ then moved to Mercury, where they made three records between ██
██ December 1962 and 1964. Later in 1964, the trio signed to ██
██ Limelight, where they made three records. In October of ██
██ 1966, the group returned to Blue Note and recorded ██
██ Vibrations. Shortly after the sessions, drummer Bill Dowdy ██
██ left the group and was replaced by Donald Bailey, who made ██
██ his first recorded appearance with the group on 1967's Live ██
██ at the Lighthouse. That album was followed in 1968 by ██
██ Coldwater Flat, an album that found the trio augmenting ██
██ their sound with a string section. By the time the group ██
██ returned to the studio in September 1968 to cut Elegant ██
██ Soul, Bailey was replaced by Carl Burnette. Elegant Soul ██
██ continued the pattern of smooth, string-heavy productions, ██
██ as did 1969's Soul Symphony. By the time the group made Soul ██
██ Symphony, bassist Andrew Simpkins had left the trio and was ██
██ replaced by Henry Franklin. ██
██ ██
██ Soul Symphony, for most intents and purposes, was the last ██
██ record the Three Sounds made. They continued to perform ██
██ live, and one of those concerts is documented on Live at the ██
██ It Club, a 1970 date which was released in 1995. Later in ██
██ 1970, Monk Montgomery replaced Franklin, but this version of ██
██ the Three Sounds never recorded. Instead, Harris embarked on ██
██ a solo career in 1971, releasing Gene Harris & the Three ██
██ Sounds, which also featured Burnette and electric bassist ██
██ Luther Hughes, along with a number of session men. From that ██
██ point on, Harris concentrated on his solo career, recording ██
██ for Blue Note over the next six years. Once his contract ██
██ expired, Harris retired to Boise, Idaho, where he worked as ██
██ a musical director at a hotel. Eventually, he returned to ██
██ music after bassist Ray Brown convinced the pianist to play ██
██ on an album for Pablo. Harris resumed his solo career in ██
██ 1985, signing with Concord Jazz. His new albums, combined ██
██ with CD reissues of classic Three Sounds dates, prompted a ██
██ positive critical re-evluation of his music, and he ██
██ maintained a strong reputation into the late '90s. ██
