Gene Ammons • Night Lights

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
One of his first recording sessions after he returned to the scene following a rather severe jail sentence was this tribute to Nat King Cole. As it turned out, the quartet date with pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist George Duvivier and drummer Rudy Collins was quickly forgotten as Ammons recorded some more commercial material and this set was not released for the first time until 1985. Ammons is in excellent form on such ballads as "Nature Boy," "Lush Life," "Sweet Lorraine" and "The Christmas Song," making one wish that the contents of this LP were available on CD.

Una de sus primeras sesiones de grabación después de volver a la escena tras una condena de cárcel bastante severa fue este homenaje a Nat King Cole. Resultó que la cita del cuarteto con el pianista Wynton Kelly, el bajista George Duvivier y el baterista Rudy Collins fue rápidamente olvidada ya que Ammons grabó material más comercial y este set no se publicó por primera vez hasta 1985. Ammons está en excelente forma en baladas como "Nature Boy", "Lush Life", "Sweet Lorraine" y "The Christmas Song", haciendo que uno desee que el contenido de este LP esté disponible en CD.
