{"product_id":"ammons-gene-blue-gene-vinyl-record-753088205071","title":"Ammons,gene - Blue Gene - Vinyl Record","description":"Jazz lovers and sonic thrill seekers - here's a horn-heavy hangout starring the smooth, swaggering Gene Ammons and a dream team of mid-century jazz legends. Think of it as a top-shelf jam session that someone wisely remembered to hit 'record' on.This 1958 Prestige gem is bluesy by name and bluesier by nature - three of the four tracks ride those familiar blues changes like a Cadillac with velvet seats. But don't get too comfortable, because pianist Mal Waldron penned the entire setlist, including the haunting, minor-key ballad 'Hip Tip,' just to keep your ears on their toes.Gene Ammons, aka 'Jug,' brings that famously expressive tenor sax of his - rich enough to butter toast with - and pairs up with two of the finest co-conspirators ever to bless a horn: the sharp, soulful Idrees Sulieman on trumpet and the baritone brawler himself, Pepper Adams. This trio doesn't just blow; they converse, they duel, and occasionally they just throw down.Every player on this date had already jammed with Gene before, so the chemistry is tighter than a snare drum. It's the kind of session where everyone shows up knowing it's about to go down - and it does.The vinyl reissue is par excellence: Mastering by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at Acoustech Mastering, double LP cut at 45 RPM and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings! Plus it's housed in a Stoughton Printing Old Style Tip-On gatefold jacket with scuff-resistant matte finish.Blue Gene is a must-have slice of golden-era jazz - equal parts brains, brawn, and bluesy brilliance.
