(2 Customer Reviews)
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).

$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.

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 ...
