Gene Ammons • The Gene Ammons Story Gentle Jug



Review by Scott Yanow
This single CD reissues the two-LP set of the same name. Included are two sessions originally cut for Prestige's subsidiary Moodsville (Nice an' Cool and The Soulful Mood of Gene Ammons), which are purposely relaxed and strictly at ballad tempos. Fortunately, Ammons (who had a distinctive, huge tone) was long a master at interpreting ballads, and although these performances do not quite reach the heights of his greatest recordings, the lyrical music is quite enjoyable. Accompanied by either Richard Wyands or Patti Bown on piano, Doug Watkins or George Duvivier on bass, and J.C. Heard or Ed Shaughnessy on drums, Ammons is tasteful and creative in a subtle way throughout these successful dates.

Revisión por Scott Yanow
Este único CD vuelve a emitir el conjunto de dos LP del mismo nombre. Se incluyen dos sesiones originalmente cortadas para la subsidiaria de Prestige, Moodsville (Nice and 'Cool and The Soulful Mood of Gene Ammons), que son deliberadamente relajadas y estrictamente a ritmo de balada. Afortunadamente, Ammons (que tenía un tono enorme y distintivo) fue durante mucho tiempo un maestro en la interpretación de baladas, y aunque estas actuaciones no llegan a las alturas de sus mejores grabaciones, la música lírica es bastante agradable. Acompañado por Richard Wyands o Patti Bown en el piano, Doug Watkins o George Duvivier en el bajo, y J.C. Heard o Ed Shaughnessy en la batería, Ammons es de buen gusto y creativo de una manera sutil a lo largo de estas exitosas citas.
