More than a usual suspect,Gene Harris along with Andrew Simpkins and Bill Dowdy,under the kind of cynical name The Three Sounds,managed to do something extraordinary.In particular,they are so badasses that made Madlib to give up sampling and just put some random beats.Poor guy.
In one of their last recordings and somewhere at the rise of blackexploitation and tuxedo music,with the blessings of a string orchestra of course,they still make you reconsider of your coolness and style.
Praise the elegance .
