Review:
This tenor-saxophonist led a series of excellent all-star jam sessions for the Prestige label during the mid-'50s that took advantage of the extra time available on LPs (as opposed to the three-minute 78). This album features versions of "Jammin' with Gene" (a blues), "We'll Be Together Again" (which evolves from being an Ammons ballad feature into a group jam and then back again) and "Not Really the Blues" that clocks in between ten and over 16 minutes. With such sidemen as trumpeters Art Farmer and Donald Byrd, altoist Jackie McLean, pianist Mal Waldron, bassist Doug Watkins and drummer Art Taylor, this is an excellent (and rather spontaneous) straightahead session.
Scott Yanow, AMG

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.
