Tenor saxophonist Gene Ammons recorded this set with the backing of an organ trio, one of his favorite instrumental formats. PREACHIN' was recorded in Chicago in 1962 and spotlights Clarence "Sleepy" Anderson, whose organ embraces both the sound of a Baptist church and a smoky nightclub. Fittingly, this set primarily comprises gospel numbers, which were quite popular with jazz players at the time. Ammons' rich tone evokes the zeal of a choir singer as well as the testifying of a preacher. The balladry is particularly moving--"You'll Never Walk Alone" and "I Believe" are standouts. Ammons recorded a large body of music, and all of his recordings with organ combos are worthy titles. PREACHIN' is a fine place to start, as is THE GENE AMMONS STORY: THE ORGAN COMBOS.
