Gene Harris suggestions?

I recently heard a version of "Summertime" by Gene Harris and really liked it. I went on line to see if I could find the album and realized he had a lot, including several with summertime. I figured someone here would be able to give me a good idea which of his recordings I should get. Thanks.

He recorded his best work with a trio called "The Three Sounds". I believe they're on Blue Note. One in particular features Stanley Turrentine on tenor. It's truly a gorgeous album.

Get "Soular Energy" by the Ray Brown Trio, featuring Gene Harris. It is awesome; swinging piano jazz at it's best. Plus, it is a stellar recording.

I have everything that Gene Harris ever did. You might try "Funky Gene's" and I'll suggest a few more tomorrow. His version of Summertime is awesome. He is one of my favorite pianists and it's a shame that he passed away recently.

My favorite is Summer Wind: Live at the Loa - an awesome live recording. The group and the audience are having a blast!

I also like Listen Here and Soular Energy.

Pretty much anything by Gene is awesome.
