It Just Got to Be is an album by the jazz group The Three Sounds with performances recorded in 1960.

It was released on the Blue Note label in 1963.

[2] It was reissued on CD only in Japan, with two bonus tracks.

The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 3 stars stating, "The performances throughout the record are predictably swinging and enjoyable, even if they find the trio taking no stylistic chances.

That lack of adventure doesn't matter, though — the Three Sounds excel at making unpretentious, unabashedly enjoyable mainstream jazz, and there's something endearing about their ability to produce a body of work of consistently high quality".
