Review by DART Green

The album It Just Got To Be by Three Sounds is a classic jazz masterpiece that showcases the group's exceptional musicianship and creative energy. From the opening track "Blue Genes" to the closing number "The Boogaloo," the trio delivers a dynamic and engaging performance that will keep listeners hooked from start to finish.

The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, all of which are executed with precision and flair. The standout tracks include the soulful "Girl Talk," the funky "Mellow Mood," and the Latin-infused "Azule Serape."

About The Three Sounds

Strictly speaking, this trio was born as the "Four Sounds" in 1956 in Benton Harbor, Michigan. They became "The Three Sounds" in 1957 when the saxophonist, Lonnie Walker, was dropped from the team when they moved to Washington, D.C.. The trio were 'discovered' by Lou Donaldson when they moved to New York City. They've worked for Nat Adderley (on Riverside) and then released 9 LPs when they signed on to Blue Note Records between 1958-62. They joined Verve and released 2 albums in 1962. Then, they joined Limelight and Mercury (1962-66). Finally, they returned to Blue Note, but with different drummers. By 1973, Gene Harris signed on as a solo artist with Blue Note and that marked the end of the trio.
