Another all-star session.......2005-02-28

This blowing session is not quite as impressive as some of Gene's other Prestige outings in the mid-50s. Along with the two trumpeters Art Farmer and Donald Byrd, we have the usually-present Jackie McLean on alto, Mal Waldron on piano, and the rhythm section of Doug Watkins and Art Taylor. The title track is a medium blues, while "We'll be together again" starts slow, then goes up. The best track is the 16-minute "Not really the blues," taken up-tempo. Not a bad album by any means, it's just that other better ones were on the horizon.

Typical blowin' session.......2005-02-28

This 4-track CD is what was known back in the 50s as a "blowin' session": everybody jams on the chords of a tune (usually a standard or a blues) for a prescribed number of choruses; after everone's had a taste, the tune ends. On to the next song. This is a typical blowin' session, with some excellent players involved, which is why it works: along with Gene's tenor there are Idrees Sulieman (tp), Jackie McLean (as), Mal Waldron (p), Kenny Burell (g), Paul Chamber (b) and Art Taylor (d). In other words, the cream of the crop of hard-bop players in NYC at the time. Too much of this kind of thing could get boring, but this is a very nice album.

Jammin' is the concept, Ammons is the reality.......2002-11-06

Gene comes out sassy in Twister and Chambers keeps the group moving on the bass line. Chambers pushes everbody to find the groove and jam within it. If you like creativity that moves and professionals that share the stage, pick this one up. These are musician's musicians.
