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. ~ Scott Yanow
