Our Take

Gene Ammons, the jazz legend with a larger-than-life personality and an even larger tenor saxophone, delivers a triple threat with "Three Classic Albums Plus." Groove Blues kicks things off with Ammons' signature smooth sound, transporting listeners to a dimly lit jazz club where the drinks are flowing and the music is soulful. Boss Tenor keeps the party going, with Ammons leading the charge and setting the bar high for tenor saxophonists everywhere.

But it's Blue Gene that truly steals the show, showcasing Ammons' range and versatility as a musician. From the sultry ballads to the hard-hitting blues numbers, Ammons effortlessly weaves his way through each track with skill and finesse. The album is a masterclass in jazz, with every note and every riff hitting the mark with precision.

Overall, "Three Classic Albums Plus" is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast looking to expand their collection. Gene Ammons' undeniable talent and charisma shine through in every track, making this a timeless addition to any music lover's library. So grab a glass of fine whiskey, sink into your favourite armchair, and let Gene Ammons serenade you into the night. Trust us, you won't regret it.

About the artist

Gene Ammons

Gene Ammons: The Saxophonist Hailed as the "Boss Tenor" Gene Ammons, aka "Jug," was a larger-than-life figure in the jazz world, known for his soulful tenor saxophone playing and charismatic stage presence. Born in Chicago in 1925, Ammons was steeped in the rich musical traditions of the city, honing his craft alongside legends like Charlie Parker and Sonny Stitt. Ammons' sound was unmistakable - a warm, rich tone that could caress a ballad or soar over a hard-swinging groove with equal finesse. His improvisational skills were second to none, weaving intricate melodic lines with a fluidity that belied his imposing physical presence. With a discography that spans over 40 albums and collaborations with luminaries like Miles Davis and Dexter Gordon, Ammons was a true titan of the tenor sax. But beyond his musical prowess, Gene was also known for his larger-than-life personality - a raconteur with a quick wit and a penchant for mischief. Ammons' influence can still be felt today in the work of contemporary artists like Kamasi Washington and Terrace Martin, who have cited him as a major inspiration. His legacy as the "Boss Tenor" lives on, a testament to the enduring power of his music and the indelible mark he left on the world of jazz. So raise a toast to Gene Ammons, a true original whose music continues to captivate and inspire audiences around the globe. In the immortal words of the man himself, "Keep swinging, baby!"
