Boss Is Back!
LP (Item 1696) Prestige, 1969 — Condition: Used
In "back", the title is pointing to the fact that Gene Ammons is back on the scene, after being released from 7 years of a tragic 15 year narcotics sentence in prison. The album marks a proud return for Jug – who'd not recorded since a very successful flurry of sides recorded in 1961, done for a number of labels, and issued slowly during his time off the recording market. The album's a nice groover in a Prestige funky mode – with Bernard Purdie on drums on a number of cuts, plus work by Sonny Phillips, Candido, and Junior Mance. Includes the funky cuts "Tastin' the Jug" and "Jungle Boss" – plus "Madame Queen" and "Feeling Good". (Blue label pressing. Vinyl has some marks that click. Cover has some wear and stains, with some marker and pen on the back.) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
