The Three Sounds were part of the trio explosion. Begun in 1956 in Benton Harbor, Michigan as the Four Sounds & consisting of Gene Harris on piano, Andrew Simpkins on bass & Bill Dowdy on drums (the saxophonist was dropped by the time the group moved to Washington, D.C. in 1957), the Sounds eventually migrated to New York City where they were "discovered" by Lou Donaldson. After a single record for Riverside with Nat Adderley, the Three Sounds signed an exclusive contract with Alfred Lion on Blue Note Records. Over the course of 5 years, the Sounds released 9 LPs & appeared on albums by Lou Donaldson & Stanley Turrentine.

The 2nd record by the Three Sounds (which, like too many of their recordings, has yet to be reissued on CD in USA) features the increasingly popular group in prime form. Pianist Gene Harris, bassist Andy Simpkins & drummer Bill Dowdy are in top form performing their brand of funky jazz, which left plenty of room for inventive solos along with the percolating grooves.
