QUOTE :

Besides the Master bassist, this album heralded the return of the soul and blues tinged stylings of Gene Harris, previously acclaimed leader of the "Three Sounds" of the 60's. The combination of these two huge talents produces some very fine sounds best described as soulful bop.  All of the selections are very good but my favorites are:  "Exactly Like You", a good medium tempo offering, "Cry Me A River", forever associated with the late Julie London and a suitable vehicle for displaying Gene Harris' talents with a ballad, "Take The 'A' Train", done at a very slow tempo displaying the real beauty of the melody (note Ray's pretty bass work throughout), "Mistreated But Undefeated Blues", one that really rocks with the addition of Red Holloway, a strong bop soloist, and guitarist Emily Remler, "That's All", featuring tempo changes and a nice finish by Ray Brown, and "Sweet Georgia Brown" which has some beautiful exchanges taken at a slow tempo.  If you like the playing of either Ray Brown or Gene Harris, or just like good bop, you will enjoy this cd!

Notes:More a great cd from one of the best bass players of all time.New release.Will take some time to spread.
