Arranger: Bill Fischer. Ignore the title on this one-it's decidedly not acid jazz. It is, however, a fine collection of Ammons early-'70s work along with two numbers from 1962. This is jazz in a funky vein. When he returned to working in the late '60s, Ammons embraced the changes that had taken place in the jazz world during his lengthy '60s incarceration (on drug charges). Here, an electric guitarist accompanies him on all of the '70s recordings, and some tracks also feature electric piano. The two tracks from a decade prior (Willie Dixon's "My Babe" and Don Gibson's "I Can't Stop Loving You") find Ammons backed by an organ trio-one of his favored ensemble formats. These pieces stand up nicely alongside the more contemporary recordings and should lead a listener to investigate his PREACHIN' and THE GENE AMMONS STORY: ORGAN COMBOS albums.
