3:33⅓ The Three Sounds

Getting back into grind on a Monday is always easier with Jazz88 on the speakers. I decided to keep it simple today and pull out the Three Sounds. When I was just starting to get into jazz in high school me and Dad walked up to Cheapo on Snelling and one of the discs I got was the best of the Three Sounds. We need to celebrate those gateway drug artists. Long before I could really enjoy some of the jazz I now love. . .I could understand the Three Sounds, they were students of the groove, they didn’t do elaborate chord substitutions, you could hear the melody of a tune throughout every chorus, soloing or not. Spectacular musicianship. Love it. Love vinyl. Love DJing, love getting back to it.
