3 Sounds, Bill Dowdy, Un Nativo Como E�L Del Estado De Michigan THE THREE SOUNDS Texto: Mario Benso Aunque considerados por un sector de la crítica como una banda de segunda fila por su jazz de caracter directo, swingueante y decididamente mainstream, los Three Sounds fueron uno de los grupos mas populares del sello Blue Note durante las decadas de los 50 y 60 y su pianista y principal inspirador, Gene Harris, un solista reconocido por su talento y vision personal, fuertemente enraizada en la tradicio n del blues o la mu sica religiosa afroamericana. Harris, que aprendio a tocar el piano siendo el piano e intentaba compaginar su dedicacio n a la mu sica con la aficio n por el boxeo, conto ya en alguno de sus primeros grupos con el futuro batería del los 3 Sounds, Bill Dowdy, un nativo como el del Estado de Michigan. Harris y Dowdy concluyeron sus estudios en 1951 y se incorporaron al ejercito con diferentes destinos, por lo que al licenciarse cada uno prosiguio sus carreras musicales por separado. Sin embargo, en 1956 volvieron a coincidir durante un tiempo en Indiana y decidieron crear un nuevo grupo llamado los Four Sounds, con el an3 adido de un saxo tenor y del contrabajista Andrew Simpkins, originario de Richmond. No acabando de encontrar un saxofonista que acabara de asentarse en la formacio n, Harris, Dowdy y Simpkins decidieron pasar a convertirse en un trío, bajo la denominacio n definitiva de The Three Sounds. Comenzaron a hacer bolos, fundamentalmente por el area de Ohio, sirviendo ademas de soporte rítmico para solistas como Lester Young o Sonny Stitt cuando fuera necesario. Fue en ese momento cuando el tambien pianista Horace Silver, uno de los puntales del sello Blue Note, se hizo fan del grupo y se lo recomendo a Alfred Lion, el mandamas de Blue Note Records. Lion no les ficharía de inmediato, pero acabaría haciendolo en 1958, despues de que el trío realizara varias giras como tal y como soporte ocasional de Miles Davis, Kenny Burrell o, de nuevo, Sonny Stitt, ya en Nueva York. En septiembre del 58 los 3 Sounds grabaron su primer album para Blue Note, Introducing The Three Sounds, que recibio una magnífica acogida por parte del pu blico y compan3 eros mu sicos, aunque algun crítico, como el de Down Beat, no compartio esa opinio n. Viendo el buen nivel de ventas del disco, Alfred Lion no quiso esperar demasiado para una segunda entrega: en febrero del 59 entraron de nuevo al estudio de Rudy Van Gelder para grabar Bottoms Up! A el siguieron una buena lista de grabaciones, tanto a su nombre como sirviendo de apoyo rítmico a solistas destacados del sello como Stanley Turrentine o Lou Donaldson, hasta que en 1962 decidieron dejar la discografica. Publicaron entonces varios discos para otros sellos como Verve, Mercury o Limelight a mediados de los 60, pero finalmente en octubre del 66 regresaron a Blue Note. Muy poco despues de grabar su primera sesion de vuelta al hogar, Vibrations, Bill Dowdy decidio dejar el grupo, y su lugar paso a ser ocupado por Donald Bailey, batería habitual de los grupos del organista Jimmy Smith durante los mejores an3 os de este. En 1968 los 3 Sounds grabaron un album con seccio n de cuerdas y ese mismo an3 o, de nuevo en el estudio para grabar otro mas que llevaría por título Elegant Soul, Bailey fue a su vez sustituido por Carl Burnette, un veterano de la West Coast de los an3 os 50 curtido en mil batallas. Por entonces, la sonoridad del grupo se había inclinado decididamente hacia las producciones algo smooth, con creciente protagonismo de las cuerdas. En 1969 fue Simpkins quien decidio poner pies en polvorosa, ocupando su lugar Henry Franklin, batería habitual del sudafricano Hugh Masekela. Estaba claro que los mejores an3 os de los 3 Sounds habían llegado a su final y de hecho el grupo, con algun cambio mas en su formacio n, acabo pasando a la historia cuando en 1971 Gene Harris opto por desarrollar su carrera en solitario, que mantuvo con buen pulso hasta su fallecimiento en 2000.

One day, George came to me with a list of tapes he’d come across; tapes in the possession of Jim Wilke, who years earlier had been the host of a syndicated Seattle-based radio program called Jazz After Hours. Over the course of Jim’s storied career, he’s been a staunch advocate for jazz and its greatest protagonists. Indeed, over the years, Jim has succeeded in presenting a veri- table Who’s Who of ’50s and ’60s jazz greats to the public. From February 1962 through August 1968, Jim hosted the weekly radio program, Jazz from the Penthouse, on Seattle’s KING-FM. As a well-known radio personal- ity in the Northwest, Jim developed a working relationship with Seattle’s legend- ary jazz club, the Penthouse, and consequently was able to air live performances by a wide array of artists while they performed at the club. These performances were broadcast direct to the public right as they happened. The shows not only went on the air live, Jim taped them, employing professional recording techniques and equipment. Over the years, Jim amassed an impressive collection of high-quality tapes; tapes that form a unique archive of the extraordinary music heard over the course of more than half a decade at the Penthouse by virtually all of the amazing music legends that played there.

    1 The TENORSAX of IKE ABRAMS QUEBEC “JIM DAWGS” Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: Jan. 25, 2021 2 Born: Newark, New Jersey, Aug 17, 1918 Died: New York City, Jan. 16, 1963 Introduction: Ike Quebec’s music was highly respected in Oslo Jazz Circle, both his swinging orchestral appearances with Cab Calloway and his beautiful Blue Note albums. He would probably have been an important personality in the continuing mainstream tradition, along with the greatest of names. History: Gigged on piano as a teenager, also worked as a dancer. First professional work on tenorsax with the Barons of Rhythm in 1940. During the 1940s played with many small bands (usually in New York), including Frankie Newton, Benny Carter, Coleman Hawkins, Kenny Clarke, Hot Lips Page, Trummy Young, Roy Eldridge Quintet etc. etc. On and off with Cab Calloway from June 1944 until early 1951. Led own band in the 1950s, also worked as a chauffeur in the late 1950s. Became connected to Blue Note records in 1958 and experienced a second career. However, he was forced to stop playing and died of lung cancer (ref. John Chilton a. o.) 3 IKE QUEBEC SOLOGRAPHY JAM SESSION NYC.
