These three albums are from a series of Gene Ammons-led sessions recorded for Prestige starting in 1955, when the tenor headed what amounted to the labels house group in after-hours collaborations that, despite their take-no-prisoners approach, yielded much swinging and imaginative excitement. Amid the fierce blowing Ammons displays power and intensity, and Jackie McLean reveals his concern for linear development, exhibiting a warm tone and phrasing firmly based on Bird. Three great trumpet players are featured in these albums.
On Jammin with Gene, Donald Byrd is in incisive and in arresting form, and Art Farmer is his usual elegant, fluent self, both on this album and Funky, while Idrees Sulieman is lyrical and forceful on Jammin in Hi-Fi. Guitarist Kenny Burrell offers some typically fleet choruses on two of the sessions. On piano, Mal Waldrons spare solos offer some piquant moments and leanly provocative statements, supported splendidly by Doug Watkins blues-rooted drive (he is replaced by the powerful Paul Chambers in the last date) and Art Taylors intelligent rhythmic patterns.
The last three bonus tracks on the second CD come from Ammons album The Happy Blues, again with Farmer, McLean and Taylor, but with pianist Duke Jordan instead of Waldron, and bassist Addison Farmer and Candido Camero on conga.

/////////
Estos tres álbumes proceden de una serie de sesiones dirigidas por Gene Ammons y grabadas para Prestige a partir de 1955, cuando el tenor encabezaba lo que era el grupo de la casa discográfica en colaboraciones a deshoras que, a pesar de su enfoque de no tomar prisioneros, producían mucho swing y emoción imaginativa. En medio del feroz soplido, Ammons muestra potencia e intensidad, y Jackie McLean revela su preocupación por el desarrollo lineal, exhibiendo un tono cálido y un fraseo firmemente basado en Bird. Tres grandes trompetistas aparecen en estos álbumes.
En Jammin with Gene, Donald Byrd es incisivo y está en forma, y Art Farmer es su habitual elegancia y fluidez, tanto en este álbum como en Funky, mientras que Idrees Sulieman es lírico y contundente en Jammin in Hi-Fi. El guitarrista Kenny Burrell ofrece algunos coros típicos en dos de las sesiones. En el piano, Mal Waldron ofrece algunos momentos picantes y declaraciones ligeramente provocativas, apoyado espléndidamente por el empuje de Doug Watkins con raíces de blues (es reemplazado por el poderoso Paul Chambers en la última fecha) y los inteligentes patrones rítmicos de Art Taylors.
Los tres últimos temas extra del segundo CD proceden del álbum de Ammons The Happy Blues, de nuevo con Farmer, McLean y Taylor, pero con el pianista Duke Jordan en lugar de Waldron, y el bajista Addison Farmer y Cándido Camero en la conga.
