Reviews:
"This album is important as an early milestone in pianist Gene Harris' second career. Harris, who had led the popular Three Sounds in the 1960s, had been living in obscurity in Boise, ID, for several years before he was urged by bassist Ray Brown to come to the West Coast for some recording sessions. Harris became a permanent member of Brown's regular trio for quite a few years before launching his own quartet. He had lost none of his technique, soul, or swing in the interim, as he shows throughout this fine release. Seven of the eight numbers (highlighted by "Exactly Like You," "Teach Me Tonight," and "Sweet Georgia Brown") feature Brown, Harris, and drummer Gerryck King playing soulful bop, while "Mistreated But Undefeated Blues" adds guitarist Emily Remler and the tenor of Red Holloway. An excellent effort." Allmusic review by Scott Yanow
"This is one of my favorite LPs of all time. ... My heart literally skipped a beat when I saw that Analogue Productions was bringing us a (180-gram), 45 RPM version of this LP. To top it off, it would be pressed at the new Quality Record Pressings plant and be mastered by Kevin Gray. One more thing, at its price of $50, it's a bargain compared to what near mint or mint original Concord pressings are going for, much less the ridiculous price of the Japan pressing. ... This reissue does everything the original does, but it does it better. First, as quiet as my copy was, this pressing just allows the music to appear in my room with no hint that it is being played off vinyl. Second, there is just something relaxing about the sound of a well-done 45 RPM pressing. It loses none of its presence, clarity or transient speed, but at the same time it is more relaxed and simply sounds more beautiful." — dagogo.com review by Jack Roberts.
