So Funky, So Real

"Funk Jazz rarely even equals this album. bassist henry franklin and carl burnett were the perfect replacements for andy simpkins and bill dowdy for gene harris to work in this funky direction. they are able to keep the funky feel while changing the rythms so it doesnt sound to repetetive like some funk jazz can get. even for fans of more bop, the improvization level on this albums is at a hieght for the sounds. Check out volume two, just as good, slightly more down home in feel."
What a joyous encounter!

""Live At The It Club" (Volume 1 and 2) has been recorded 1970 in sunny Hollywood/California and features Gene Harris (the co-founder of "The Three Sounds") on piano, Henry Franklin on bass and Carl Burnett on drums: jazzy, bluesy, grovy! What a joyous encounter while crusing! If you're interested in more live recordings by "The Three Sounds" check out these: "Live At The Lighthouse" and "Today's Sounds" all available on CD."
