The Three Sounds’ return to Blue Note in the
late-60s found the trio evolving and expanding their trademark sound. On Soul Symphony, pianist Gene Harris, bassist Henry Franklin, and drummer Carl Burnett perform
music composed, arranged and conducted by Monk
Higgins augmented by woodwinds,
brass, and strings including the extended title track, a soul jazz opus of
orchestral groove.
This
Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from
the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
