The Gene Harris Legacy
Gene Harris' signature hard-swinging, soulful, blues drenched piano style made him one of the most exciting and accessible pianists in jazz. Gene Harris set a high level of musical excellence that was both inspiring and influential. After leading the definitive soul jazz trio "The Three Sounds" from the late '50s to the late '70s, Harris had retired from touring, settling in Boise, Idaho.
