Good Deal is a typically fine record from the Three Sounds, who were beginning to hit their stride when this session was recorded in May of 1959. Like most of their records, it’s laidback – even when the group works a swinging tempo, there’s a sense of ease that keeps the mood friendly, relaxed and mellow. Balancing standards like “Satin Doll,” “Soft Winds” and “That’s All” with bop (“Robbin’s Nest”), calypso (“St. Thomas”) and originals, the Three Sounds cover a lot of stylistic territory, putting their distinctive stamp on each song. It’s very accessible, pleasant soul-jazz and mainstream hard bop, but Gene Harris’ masterful technique means that Good Deal rewards close listening as well.
