Big Band Soul
Gene Harris
Nothing in music is as exhilarating as a big band in full cry. There are few such big bands left, and none has such an abundance of brilliance - in each chair - as the Philip Morris Superband. And the leader, Gene Harris, keeps on setting the groove with instant, blues-powered authority. "That's what you have to do," Gene says. "You have to set the groove right away." And then the momentum keeps building.
