Alley Cats
Gene Harris
Soulful, bluesy, swingin', hard-bopping, funky -- which of these best describes the two-fisted jazz piano stylings of Gene Harris? Answer: All of them. Augment Gene's always hard-groovin', rock-solid quartet - featuring Frank Potenza (guitar), Luther Hughes (bass) and Paul Kreibich (drums) - with the tough tenor saxophone of Red Holloway and the awesome alto saxophone of Ernie Watts, then get Hammond B-3 organ legend Brother Jack McDuff and vocalist Niki Harris to sit in, and ohhhhhh boy!!! These cats -- captured live at Seattle's Jazz Alley -- tear it up on an assortment of funky, soul-jazz and hard bop favorites, making Alley Cats an instant Gene Harris classic.
