Gene Ammons All Stars: Gene Ammons (tenor saxophone); Jackie McLean (alto saxophone); Art Farmer, Donald Byrd (trumpet); Mal Waldron (piano); Doug Watkins (bass); Art Taylor (drums). Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Hackensack, New Jersey on July 13, 1956. Originally released on Prestige (7060). Includes liner notes by Doug Ramsey and Ira Gitler. Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1991, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). Ammons recorded quite a few dates with a varying cast of All Stars. JAMMIN' WITH GENE is from a session recorded in July of 1956. The album features the trumpets of Art Farmer and Donald Byrd, Jackie McLean on alto sax, Mal Waldron on piano, and a rhythm section comprised of bass player Doug Watkins and drummer Art Taylor. A decidedly relaxed vibe runs through the three extended tunes. The opening title cut gives plenty of room to the distinctive soloists before slowing down for the ballad "We'll Be Together Again." Things tpick up to with the propulsive, 16-minute "Not Really the Blues." Taylor absolutely sparkles on this one, his high hat and snare galloping along as he punctuates the soloing horn players with ecstatic hits and rolls on his toms.
