Gene Harris - Tone Tantrum (1977)

KazaaaAAAaam!

Back again with a Blue Note - Beauty. Found this album some years ago and didn´t know much about it. But after all these years of digging, this setup made the bells ringin. You know the names like Dorothy Ashby, Jerry Peters, Harvey Mason, Donald Byrd, D.J. Rogers?!?! No, then go and search for these magnificent artists ... and if you don´t know about this album, go get it for yourselves!

Sweet sweet keyboards from the amazing Gene Harris -- one of his seminal electric sides for Blue Note in the 70s -- recorded between his earliest fame in the Three Sounds, and his later return to acoustic styles in the 80s! The sound here is equal parts jazz and soul -- as Gene's working with vocalist/arranger Jerry Peters, who brings in a good deal of his own groove to the tracks -- giving them a strong focus that's sometimes missing from other solo Harris sets. Both Peters and Harris play Fender Rhodes and other keyboards on the album -- alongside a variety of players that include Donald Byrd on trumpet, Harvey Mason on drums, and Chuck Rainey on bass. Tracks include the Peters tunes "If You Can't Find Love" and "A Minor", a two-part remake of Duke Pearson's "Christo Redentor", the sweet stepper "Peace Of Mind", and a strong vocal take on Stevie Wonder's "As".

Enjoy that folks!
