Gene was/is the grooviest pianist. He made his name and art form via his trio - The Three Sounds - for the Blue Note label. Soulful, funky and a swinging master at the ivories. Accompanied by a stellar rhythm section. Enjoy folks, G’day & Cheer!
The lads and lassies coming out of Berklee or N. Texas or Indiana should be locked in a padded room and forced to listen to this non-stop for six hours. The sine qua non of jazz is PASSION. If they don't "get " jazz after that, ship them off to Smooth Jazz Hell! I call Harris "Oscar Peterson with dirt under his fingernails!" (Can't imagine OP ever doin' that Les McCann Oggie Boogie sway. The other old fart does a nice job of keeping up with him. A couple of great performances.
One of the best possible ways to spend 12 minutes of my life. Well actually I've listened to it multiple times so way more than 12 min. It doesn't get any better than this.
I have never heard of these two excellent piano artists, but I am hooked now ! I love their playing. Beautiful. The bass player and drum are excellent as well. Great group of musicians! . .SYLVIA!
Wow, you got a lot of listening to do. Happy jazz times. I had a great R Kellaway LP, He was not the leader, his playing was fantastic. I was a big Gene Harris fan for many years.
Soooo nice to listen to Gene Harris and Roger Kellaway! Solid accompaniment by Bob Crenshaw and Grady Tate! Remember Roger Kellaway from the opening tune for ‘All in the Family’ (Best sitcom ever...)
Bob Cranshaw yea ! interesting listening to him describe how the details of the base line in Lee Morgan's "Sidewinder" came about . Check it out on You-tube also .
@@markbridwell8972 I've seen the video you mention. Thanks for reminding, I'll check it out again. I found the link: th-cam.com/video/0-FFNmO5RGk/w-d-xo.html I "landed" on this video for Roger Kellaway. I think he's a great pianist. I first heard him (and of him) on this record: th-cam.com/video/aoOn-5KS1_c/w-d-xo.html It feels like "if you're in a bad mood, listen to this". ...Am I actually allowed to put links to other videos in the comments? If not or it's considered impolite, I'll remove them.
Cliff Works: I second that emotion! Especially for jazz geeks like me. We always want to ALL the players, what they had for breakfast that morning; when they first burped & when they last shagged.
This is a phenomenal performance by two musicians who play and feel their jazz creation. It is difficult to stop replaying this tape. Who are the drummer and bassist?
@@amtrakatsfnyc2387 And you know something?! I'm afraid that bassist was not Mr. Brown. He usually plays with Mr. Tate and Mr. Harris but the man who plays the bass on this theme doesn't look like Mr. Brown. Besides, Mr. Brown is a true Star and camera did not even show his face nor his hands nor the bass. Too weird. I'm gonna investigate this "detail" and please, excuse my partially wrong reply! My own fault!!!
My fav jazz pianists of all time: Gene Harris, Oscar Peterson, Art Tatum, Johnny Costa. the list could be extended, but if I had to choose that'd be it
The joy and happiness these men bring to us. Wow
wow wow what a groove give me more

This rendition of "Splanky" by Gene Harris & Roger Kellaway' is my all time favorite by anyone.
And you have giant reasons for that my friend

Swings so hard just knocks me out!
I love that Gene always looks like he is having the time of his life when playing!
And I always feel that joy in his music.
...accompanied by his "megawatt" smile. What a musical genius.

Sooo soulful and fantastic. Thanks for all the great music. Love you Gene
when we had real music oh how I miss Gene Harris saw him many times.
This is a masterful performance! Two giants of the jazz piano really bring swing and force to the forefront. Thank you for sharing.
EYESIGHT TO THE BLIND!! WONDERFUL!!
Soooo nice to listen to Gene Harris and Roger Kellaway! Solid accompaniment by Bob Crenshaw and Grady Tate! Remember Roger Kellaway from the opening tune for ‘All in the Family’ (Best sitcom ever...)
Ooohhhh, mmyyy goooodnessss, they are having such a good time! Makes us smile too! Thank you for posting!
SCHEEESCH!!! DOES IT EVER GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS??? ( I SERIOUSLY DOUBT IT!!!)
Absolutely the best !!!
This---this is the thing. if you know what I mean. Peace, brothers, and sisters.
Not a pairing I would've conceived, but....DAMN! Doesn't get any better than that.
Good point, two very different players. Roger is the more flexible, adaptable- don’t know the right description.
Absolutely fabulous music. Thanks!
Gene _____ love your stuff ___
I have no words....just amazement and awe!
Dois monstros da música. Resultado: encantamento.
Roger kellaway made me cry when he played "ARIRANG" in Seoul. Still the best.
Can't beat that. Thanks for uploading

Que cosa mas bonita
Love that splanky!! I know they either had to do a major tune on those pianos - or throw them out. I think Gene broke his 😆
Come to Munich!
That's a nice rendition of Horse Silvers tune.they were jamming . Thanks
Horace ....sorry, but Horace Silver is another of my faves!
@@veejaymexico4840 NICE IS AN INSULT TO PERHAPS THE GREATEST EVER FOUR HANDED BLUES!
@@DougGortnerPartyWeddingPianist I totally agree with you! Thom G is the one who used the term “nice”.
Totally superb piece.
wonderful, great stuff. as good a version of splanky anywhere. and i heard the count perform it.
😘❤️
Fantástico este dúo, se pasaron, una fanática del Jazz desde Chile
Thanks for uploading, this is my favourite version of splanky!
Splanky and Our Gang
Great!
Is there a better word than "virtuoso" ? Gene Harris is that and more. No disrespect to anyone playing with him
Kippenvel,wat een vette accordeon!!!
True,Horace Silver classic played by non other than the legendary Gene Harris
I realise 4 years later,I didn't acknowledge Roger kellarway the same I did with Gene Harris. My apology. Roger is equally a great Jazz pianist
Браво
Só os deuses da música têm o direito de fazer isso. Ou os extraterrestres...
this is great. Roger missed the splank time cue for the ending gene threw at him
always credit all musicians should be You Tube policy requisite.
Looks like Grady Tate on drums and Jymie Merritt on bass.
I stand corrected. As I see below, that's Bob Cranshaw on bass.

@@InWalkedBud donno care about their food but just their names I talk to Roger every few weeks, cliff in tokyo
Grady Tate on drums.
Thank you saying who is on the drums. Mr. Grady Tate is fabulous! . . SYLVIA! 02/03/2021
I believe that I hear Oscar's influence.
Yes, Oscar is very present in that performance.
See my post above
Marvelous interpretation! Who's the bassist?!
Bob Cranshaw is walking that bass all the way home. Fantastic
This is a phenomenal performance by two musicians who play and feel their jazz creation. It is difficult to stop replaying this tape. Who are the drummer and bassist?
Grady Tate & Ray Brown
@@austinhinchey2325 Thank you. It is nice to see these 2 pianists with 2 greats of their respective instruments.

@@austinhinchey2325 WE all can make errors on these facts. Ray and Gene did a lot of work together. Thank you for your efforts.
@@amtrakatsfnyc2387 No bother! Not at all! I shall try to get who he is. It's a matter of selfesteem now! Thanks for your kindness!!
be nice to acknowledge the bass and drums would'nt it ?
LEGENDS: Bob Cranshaw (bass) Grady Tate (drums)
@@brakebrian
Many thanks🙏🙏🙏
Excellent blues playing, I remember my father said swing and swing hard. These great musicians did just that! We're those steinway or yamaha's?
Look 2 me like yammis...the color of the harp..
My fav jazz pianists of all time: Gene Harris, Oscar Peterson, Art Tatum, Johnny Costa. the list could be extended, but if I had to choose that'd be it
Always felt Gene Harris was Under-Rated, but he was Great!! My favorite was Erroll Garner and Ahmad Jamal.
Bill Evans?
Not bad my friend ___ like the list _____ one of my guys _____ the great Red Garland
