Gene Harris - piano

Luther Hughes - bass
Harold Jones - drums

Pianist Gene Harris' 1992 quartet (with guitarist Ron Eschete, bassist Luther Hughes, and drummer Harold Jones) explores ten wide-ranging selections on this CD. But despite the very different chord changes, they are able to infuse the music with so much soul that the results are consistently bluesy. Among the tunes that Harris and his group explore are Horace Silver's "Strollin'," "Until the Real Thing Comes Along," "Jeannine," "You Make Me Feel So Young," and "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams." An excellent effort.
