Gene Ammons • Groove Blues

 

Blues Review
by Scott Yanow
On Jan. 3, 1958, Gene Ammons led one of his last all-star jam sessions for Prestige. The most notable aspect to this date (which resulted in two albums of material) is that it featured among its soloists John Coltrane, on alto. This CD, a straight reissue of one of the original LPs, includes baritonist Pepper Adams, the tenor of Paul Quinichette and Coltrane on two of the four selections and Jerome Richardson's flute during three of the songs in addition to a fine rhythm section (pianist Mal Waldron, bassist George Joyner and drummer Art Taylor). This set consists of three of Waldron's originals in addition to the standard ballad "It Might as Well Be Spring" and it (along with the CD The Big Sound) fully documents the productive day.

Reseña sobre el blues
por Scott Yanow
El 3 de enero de 1958, Gene Ammons dirigió una de sus últimas jam sessions para Prestige. El aspecto más notable de esta cita (que dio lugar a dos álbumes de material) es que contó con la presencia de John Coltrane, como solista. Este CD, una reedición directa de uno de los LPs originales, incluye al baritonista Pepper Adams, el tenor de Paul Quinichette y Coltrane en dos de las cuatro selecciones y la flauta de Jerome Richardson durante tres de las canciones, además de una excelente sección rítmica (el pianista Mal Waldron, el bajista George Joyner y el baterista Art Taylor). Este set consta de tres originales de Waldron además de la balada estándar "It Might as Well Be Spring" y (junto con el CD The Big Sound) documenta completamente la productiva jornada.
