Blue Gene [LP]

Tenor saxophonist Gene Ammons, "Jug" to his fans, had one of the warmest, most soulful sounds in jazz, and Blue Gene, cut for Prestige in 1958, is one of his most beloved sessions. With Idrees Sulieman on trumpet, Pepper Adams on baritone, Mal Waldron on piano and Ray Barretto on congas, it is a relaxed, bluesy blowing date that helped point the way to soul jazz.

Import pressing on standard black vinyl, single LP, from Culture Factory.
