The peerless combination of musical qualities that Gene Harris unleashed on up-tempo burners and deep-in-the-pocket medium-tempo swingers—and made him one of jazz’s most exciting and accessible pianists—are the same qualities that enliven his timeless interpretations of ballads. Combining heartfelt passion, a healthy dose of blues inflection, masterful dynamic shadings, and an innate, unwavering sense of time and swing, Gene shapes each ballad into a vibrant musical story. Selected from the numerous recordings he made as a leader for Concord Jazz, the eleven selections presented in this collection are the very best of Gene Harris’ enduring ballad performances.
