Gene Ammons recorded frequently for Prestige during the 1950s and early '60s and virtually all of the tenor's dates were quite rewarding. This two-LP set reissues Twistin' the Jug plus part of Angel Eyes and Velvet Soul. Ammons, a bop-based but very versatile soloist, sounds quite comfortable playing a variety of standards and lesser-known material in groups featuring Jack McDuff or Johnny "Hammond" Smith on organ and either trumpeter Joe Newman or Frank Wess on tenor and flute. This version of "Angel Eyes" became a surprise hit.
Reseña de Scott Yanow
Gene Ammons grabó con frecuencia para el Prestige durante los años 50 y principios de los 60 y prácticamente todas las fechas del tenor fueron bastante gratificantes. Este juego de dos LP reedita Twistin' the Jug más parte de Angel Eyes y Velvet Soul. Ammons, un solista basado en el bop pero muy versátil, suena bastante cómodo tocando una variedad de estándares y material menos conocido en grupos con Jack McDuff o Johnny "Hammond" Smith en el órgano y el trompetista Joe Newman o Frank Wess en el tenor y la flauta. Esta versión de "Angel Eyes" se convirtió en un éxito sorpresa.
