The Three Sounds represent an example of how the jazz trio format can be reduced to its essence.
Gene Harris (piano), Andy Simpkins (bass), and Bill Dowdy (drums) achieve intensity not through display,
but through balance, timing, and deep internal groove.
Their music is built on time rather than effect, allowing form to unfold naturally from within.
Interpreting jazz standards such as Work Song, Summertime, A Foggy Day, and Stompin’ at the Savoy,
the trio avoids stylistic pressure and outward demonstration.
Melody, pulse, and ensemble interaction remain central, creating a calm yet concentrated musical flow.
Many of these recordings were made at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio for Blue Note Records, where sound was shaped at the moment of performance rather than constructed afterward.
Rudy Van Gelder was a legendary American recording engineer who shaped the sound of jazz in the second half of the 20th century.
His recordings were released by Blue Note, Prestige, Impulse! and other key labels of the era.
Selected original material from non-circulating sources is used; the final sound result is fixed in
CD Audio using DSE/PSL reproduction processin.
A shared acoustic space preserved natural dynamics, physical presence, and the organic balance of the trio.
The result is not a studio artifact, but a fixed musical state — direct, focused, and enduring.
The achieved sonic result is preserved exclusively in the CD Audio format, maintaining its original scale, dynamics, and temporal precision.

DSE/PSL Remastered Reproduction is a multi-stage technological process focused on maximum accuracy
and authenticity in the reproduction of the original phonogram.
The first stage is remastering, aimed at preserving and refining the internal structure of the audio signal, its dynamics, and tonal balance without cleaning, suppression, restoration, or any form of intervention into the source material.
The objective of this stage is to achieve the most precise and correct informational state of the signal.
The next stage involves dedicated selection and matching of digital-to-analog conversion (DAC), designed to fully раскрыть the informational potential achieved during remastering.
This results in a denser, more focused, and more accurate output signal, fixed as a completed phonogram.
The outcome is clearly audible:
— a significant increase in both the amount and quality of audio information
— a fully and evenly revealed frequency spectrum, from high to low frequencies
— natural body and presence of instruments
— precise reproduction of studio acoustics and spatial characteristics
DSE/PSL captures the optimal state of a phonogram’s sound, unattainable through standard digital reproduction methods.
The achieved result is fixed exclusively in the CD Audio format, as the final and definitive carrier
of the DSE/PSL remastered reproduction.

No EQ, no compressions or digital dynamic manipulations added to this mastering process
