ELEGANT SOUL (1968) was the penultimate release by the Three Sounds, and sees them leaving behind the cool instrumental jazz that had typified most of their previous output, and moving more decisively in the direction of easy-listening pop. While the group had always had something of a light, accessible take on post-bop, ELEGANT SOUL, with its string arrangements and pop-oriented ambitions, finds them crossing over into easy listening. The 2008 reissue, part of a Blue Note reissue project targeting rare groove collectors and fans of soul-jazz, contextualizes the album for what it is: a unique jazz-soul-pop hybrid.

Arranger: Monk Higgins.

The Three Sounds: Gene Harris (piano); Andy Simpkins (bass instrument); Carl Burnett (drum).

Additional personnel: Al Vescovo (guitar); Henry Felber (violin, strings); Leonard Malarsky, Dave Burk, Ralph Schaeffer (violin); Philip Goldberg (viola); Jerry Kessler (cello); Albert Steinberg, William Kurash (strings); Jim Horn (flute); Bob Jung (reeds); Miles Grayson, Paul Humphrey (drum); Alan Estes, Dee Ervin (percussion); Louis Kievman.

Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

4 stars At long last
The Three Sounds released a lot of stuff with Blue Note records, but precious little has been released on CD. This is from towards the end of their stint with Blue Note and goes beyond the straight trio stuff into lusher backing. Not their best period, but if your a fan you will have to get this.

5 stars This is Classic Jazz
With the combination of strings and piano, this album of the early '70 was a trendsetter for jazz. You will not hear sounds like this again.

Atlanta
Marcus Hummon Atlanta CD  (2005)

Elegant Soul music CDs
CD $20.29
Set in the weeks before the fall of Atlanta, a Union soldier finds himself stranded in the hills of North Georgia, engaged in mortal combat with a Confederate infantryman behind enemy lines. The Yankee kills the Confederate rebel, and then, and then in order to save himself, puts on the rebel's uniform. Attempting to find his way back to his own regiment, the Yankee is captured as a deserter by Colonel Arthur Medraut of the 34th Louisiana who is fighting a defensive action against Sherman's army. The impersonator is saved by Hamlet, one of the Colonel's slaves, who heads a trio of slaves who travel with the 34th Louisiana for the sole purpose of entertaining the Colonel and his troops with scenes from Shakespeare. The Yankee finds himself traveling with the ill-fated regiment as they back their way towards the burning city of Atlanta, part of this strange little band of actors, learning about love, Shakespeare and revenge.Marcus Hummon, has been one of Nashville's most consistently successful and innovative songwriters, and was named "Nashville's Top Songwriter" by the Nashville Scene's Readers Poll three years in a row. He has penned, or co-penned, number one hits for Sara Evans ("Born to Fly"), the Dixie Chicks ("Ready to Run" and "Cowboy, Take Me Away"), Tim McGraw ("One of These Days"), Wynonna ("Only Love"), and most recently, Rascal Flatts ("Bless the Broken Road"), along with many others, garnering Grammy, CMA, and Tony nominations. Along the way, he has also recorded and released five albums of his own. The first, the critically acclaimed All in Good Time, on Columbia Records, two sterling independent label releases, The Sound of One Fan Clapping and Looking for the Child, and his latest EP, Revolution on Velvet Armadillo Records, and Supernatural released on the London Rock Label, Track Records, in the UK, and Western Beat in the US. Marcus's diverse career has also included a published book of poetry, entitled "Gospel Haiku," and the lyrics for the PBS children's cartoon series, "Book of Virtues." Venturing into theatre, Marcus has received Metro and Tennessee Arts Grants for three of his musicals: American Duet, co-written with Bill ...

Elegant Soul songs
CD $13.15
BIOGRAPHY Erica Lindsay, tenor saxophonist and composer, currently leads her own quartet featuring Francesca Tanksley on piano, and co-leads a quartet with pianist Sumi Tonooka that features Bob Braye and Rufus Reid. Two new recordings with these ensembles respectively are, "Yes - Live at the Rosendale Cafe" and the soon to be released, "Initiation". She also currently performs with the Oliver Lake Big Band, the Baikida Carroll Quintet, the Howard Johnson, Hojo5 Quintet, the Jeff Siegel Quartet and the San Francisco-based group, Trace Elements. Her most recent recordings with these ensembles are, "Cloth," (Oliver Lake Big Band) "Magical Spaces," (Jeff Siegel Quartet), "Marionettes on a High Wire," (Baikida Carroll Quintet) and "Parallel Universe" (Trace Elements). Lindsay is presently working on releasing two duo projects: one with percussionist Ricky Carter ("Soulcatcher") and the other with drummer Bob Braye. Royal Stokes, writing for the Jazz Times has called her "a player of enormous gifts and a composer and arranger of striking originality". Nat Hentoff states, "Erica Lindsay plays with such an emotional spontaneity that she is very much in the tradition of those jazz makers who were so evidently taking joy in surprising themselves each night, each song, each bar. She has a distinctive clarity and fullness of sound as well as an acute sense of dynamics. Her compositions are also characterized by an invigorating clarity of form and direction". Bob Margolis for the Kingston Freeman says "Her profound, soul-searching technique straddles Coltrane's spirituality and Joe Henderson's fiery versatility, making hers a name to watch". Lindsay's parents were educators who moved to Europe in the sixties, raising their family in various European cities. She began her compositional studies at the age of fifteen with Mal Waldron in Munich, where she spent her high school years. She deepened her experience of the music through her exposure to jazz expatriates Mal Waldron, Dexter Gordon, Slide Hampton, Jimmy Griffiths, Jimmie Woode, and ...

CD $12.69
As a composer and performer, Joe was primarily concerned with drawing the listener's attention to long time structures, forms occurring in the natural world, and the archaeological record. He wrote music for the concert hall, theater, film, and gallery spaces, using various instruments including keyboard, electronic drones and harmonics, piano and harpsichord, harmonic singing, the didgeridoo, and an instrument he invented, The Spirit Stick, as well as many others. He was also a member of the Didgeridoo Ensemble, and the Strawberry Creek String Band, where he played guitar and didgeridoo. Much of his recorded work can be found at deeplistening.Castro & Catalano became friends in the early 1980’s when both lived in St. Louis. The relationship continued to grow after Joe moved to the Bay Area. Many of Catalano’s innovative approaches to sonics are evident in his musical arrangements for Castro’s poetry.Michael Castro is a widely published poet and translator who, since ...
