Columbia/Be! (Germany), 1961. New Copy ... $16.99 19.99
A wonderful set from this cool Australian combo – and one that offers up the group in two nicely different modes! Side one has The Three Out sounding wonderful as a trio – with sublime soul-styled piano from a very young Mike Nock, and exceptional work on bass from Freddy Logan – ... read more CD
Three Pieces —
Vibes Of Truth ... CD Fantasy/BGP (UK), 1975. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
A great little album of jazz funk – and the only record we've ever seen by this group!

Blue Note, 1959. Good ... $29.99
Good deal indeed – always soulful sounds from Gene Harris and his early incarnation of The Three Sounds – served up with a tightness that few other trios could match at the time! Harris is very strongly in the lead on the keys – hitting hard enough on the left hand that he hardly ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(63rd street pressing with RVG stamp, deep groove, and ear. Cover has light wear on back, but looks nice on front.)
Blue Note, 1969. Used ... $14.99
The mighty Monk Higgins works some amazing magic here with the Three Sounds – taking them way past their standard trio modes of the 60s, into some really funky territory overall! The set's a definite symphony of soul – not just because the first side features a super-extended, suite-lik ... read more CD
