Essential Gene Ammons


As a relative novice when it comes to Jazz, I have only recently discovered Gene Ammons -- and I am hooked. I bought "Late Hour Special" and like it a lot. I would appreciate any recommendations on where to go next in building a collection (including recommended pressings). Thanks!

Also, if you like Gene Ammons you should try Ben Webster "Live at the Renasiance". You can find it on the Original Label, OJC and Audiophile Analogue Productions. All versions are very good. You will find it on Contempoary and OJC labels. OJC catalog is owned by Concord Jazz now. Ben Webster meets Coleman Hawkins is very good too. Gene Ammons Boss Tenor, Blue Gene, and Woofin and Tweetin is awesome too.
Boss Tenor is a high sound quality LP.

It is my favorite, and my favorite song is:
"Hittin'the Ju".
