Groovin’ Hard with The Three Sounds featuring Gene Harris from 2xHD Mastering and Resonance Jazz is a soulful collection of never-before-heard live recordings. made over five years during four separate engagements by the legendary Three Sounds at Seattle’s late, lamented jazz club the Penthouse.
The album stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the best titles in the Three Sounds’ illustrious and extensive catalog. In its heyday, the group was one of the top-selling jazz acts in the world with a string of hits on Blue Note between 1958 and 1962. During that period, no other Blue Note act sold as many records.
The handpicked material on Groovin’ Hard consists of Jazz standards, Soul treatments of popular tunes of the day and three originals, with four of the tracks appearing on a Three Sounds’ album for the very first time.
Album Reissue Producer Zev Feldman from Resonance Jazz says “In May of 2010, George Klabin and I were embarking upon the adventure of unearthing and presenting historical jazz recordings to the world. We began looking into various archives for tapes to release. One day, George came to me with a list of tapes he’d come across; tapes in the possession of Jim Wilke, who years earlier had been the host of a syndicated Seattle-based radio program called Jazz After Hours.
Over the course of Jim’s storied career, he’s been a staunch advocate for jazz and its greatest protagonists. Indeed, over the years, Jim has succeeded in presenting a veritable Who’s Who of ’50s and ’60s jazz greats to the public.
From February 1962 through August 1968, Jim hosted the weekly radio program, Jazz from the Penthouse, on Seattle’s KING-FM. As a well-known radio personality in the Northwest, Jim developed a working relationship with Seattle’s legendary jazz club, the Penthouse, and consequently was able to air live performances by a wide array of artists while they performed at the club. These performances were broadcast direct to the public right as they happened. The shows not only went on the air live, Jim taped them, employing professional recording techniques and equipment. Over the years, Jim amassed an impressive collection of high-quality tapes; tapes that form a unique archive of the extraordinary music heard over the course of more than half a decade at the Penthouse by virtually all of the amazing music legends that played there.”
