Исполнитель: Gene AmmonsНазвание альбома: Boss Tenor Год выпуска: 1960 Формат файлов: mp3,320 kbps Размер архива: 84.33 Мб Скачать с: depositfiles There are many Gene Ammons recordings currently available on CD in Fantasy’’s Original Jazz Classics, since the versatile tenorman was a longtime Prestige recording artist. Unlike his earlier jam sessions, this particular outing finds Ammons as the only horn, fronting a talented rhythm section (pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Doug Watkins, drummer Art Taylor, and Ray Barretto on congas). Ammons explores standards (including a near-classic version of “Canadian Sunset"), blues, and ballads in his usual warm, soulful, and swinging fashion. This is a fine outing by one of the true “bosses” of the tenor. - AMG
Amazon.com: Tenor saxophonist Gene Ammons had a huge sound, and a Coleman Hawkins-inspired ability to belt the blues and caress the ballads with equal facility. This 1960 session, part of a lengthy series of recordings Ammons made for Prestige, shows off his strengths impressively. His broad-toned reading of the ballad “My Romance” confirms his reputation as the master interpreter nicknamed “Gentle Jug.” The superbly-attuned rhythm section of pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Doug Watkins, drummer Arthur Taylor, and congero Ray Barretto offers particularly brilliant support on Eddie Haywood’’s memorable “Canadian Sunset,” the uptempo bop exercise of Charlie Parker’’s “Confirmation,” and the swing classic “(Stomping at the) Savoy.”
