A stone classic from Gene Ammons – and a record that introduced his talents to a whole new audience in the 60s!

Bad Bossa Nova is right – as Gene Ammons really hits a great groove here – one that's not exactly bossa, but which has lots of Latin and tropical touches!

Despite the title, the set's not a batch of cheapo "twist" tracks – and is instead a great soul jazz set, with added conga work by Ray Barretto to make the tracks dance lightly, perhaps in a manner that Prestige thought would pass for a "twist". The tracks are longish and ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Nice nice album on Prestige, bringing together Jug's earlier sides in 2 different settings.

Nothing fancy – but some great straight-ahead blowing from Stitt and Jug!

1973 recording that would become the last that Jug and Stitt did before Jug's untimely death in the mid 70's.
