Jazz / Bop; Hard Bop
Recorded: Mar 1982-Jun 1987, Sounds Creation, Osaka, Japan and live at The Loa, Santa Monica, California
Unbridled swing and near-telepathic musical communication made the peerless trio of jazz stalwarts Monty Alexander, Ray Brown and Herb Ellis a consistently tasty and satisfying "Triple Treat" for fans of inspired jazz. Collected in this special package are three classic albums - the studio recording Triple Treat and two dynamic live albums, Triple Treat II and Triple Treat III - on two discs, providing music fans with a generous Triple Scoop of delectable music. An additional treat is the appearance of jazz violin legend John Frigo on several of the live tracks. "Sympatico is the key to the smooth sound of this trio dubbed "Triple Treat." Their spirit and empathy sustain the flow as much as their individual solos... This conversation among musical friends is something to savor." - Ken Frankling, UPI
Includes liner notes by Gordon Raddue, Ken Franckling and Philip Elwood.
