Good Deal

Good Deal is the third album by American jazz trio The 3 Sounds recorded on May 20, 1959 and released on Blue Note the following year.

Release history
Like the majority of the band's albums, it has been released on CD only in Japan, as a limited edition.

Reception
The AllMusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine stated: "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 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".
