Although often associated with the blues, only one of the ten selections on this quartet set by pianist Gene Harris (who is joined by guitarist
Ron Eschete
, bassist
Ray Brown
, and drummer
Jeff Hamilton
) is technically a blues. On this excellent all-around showcase for the soulful pianist, Harris sounds in prime form exploring such tunes as &This Masquerade,& &Don't Be That Way,&
Eddie Harris
' &Listen Here,& and &The Song Is Ended.& Listen Here! gives listeners a pretty definitive look at Gene Harris' accessible and swinging style.
