GENE AMMONS * Boss Tenor *
Von 1950 an war der Tenorsaxophonist Gene Ammons (1925-1974) für beinahe ein Vierteljahrhundert einer der hellsten Sterne am Prestige-Himmel. Ob er nun den Leader gab oder einfach teilnahm an einer der Jam-Sessions bei Prestige, eintauchte in den orgeldominierten Blues oder die Gospel-Grooves, die man in den Fünfzigerjahren als 'Soul Jazz' bezeichnete, oder aus tiefsten Tiefen schöpfte für herzanrührende Balladen, Ammons war in vielerlei Hinsicht ein Meister seines Fachs. 1960, als Leader eines Quintetts mit dem tadellosen Pianisten Tommy Flanagan und Ray Barrettos scharfen Congas, produzierte er das unübertreffliche "Boss Tenor".
Von den bluestriefenden "Hittin' The Jug" und "Blue Ammons" zu den ansteckenden, federnden Standards in mittlerem Tempo "Close Your Eyes" und "Canadian Sunset", vom anspruchsvollen Swing des "Stompin' At The Savoy" zum fingerschnippenden Bop "Confirmation" und der Ballade für späte Stunden "My Romance" hat "Boss Tenor" für jeden etwas zu bieten, der sich selbst als Fan des Modern Jazz bezeichnet.
Dieses Album ist Teil der ultimativen audiophilen Stereo-Neuauflagen des Labels Prestige durch Analogue Productions – fünfundzwanzig des Sammelns besonders würdige, besonders seltene und von besonderem audiophilem Klang gekennzeichnete Aufnahmen aus der Hand von Rudy Van Gelder. Sämtlich als 33 1/3rpm LP und zudem auch als Hybrid SACD erhältlich.
Alle Titel wurden von den originalen analogen Masterbändern vom meisterhaften Kevin Gray neu gemastert. Es handelt sich um 200g LPs, die bei der hypermodernen, für Acoustic Sounds arbeitenden Pressfirma Quality Record Pressings hergestellt und von Gary Salstrom galvanisiert wurden.
Deep Groove-Pressungen, die Hüllen nach alter Schule gefertigt, wobei das bedruckte Deckblatt aus mattglänzendem Papier von Hand auf schweren Karton geklebt wird, was an der typischen Falzung erkennbar ist.
For nearly a quarter-century, beginning in 1950, tenor saxophonist Gene Ammons (1925-1974) was among the brightest stars in the Prestige Records firmament. Whether leading, or partaking in, one of Prestige’s jam sessions, immersing himself in the organ-dominated blues and gospel grooves that in the 1950s came to be called 'soul jazz', or digging deep for heart-rending ballads, Ammons was multiply masterful. And in 1960, leading a quintet featuring the impeccable pianist Tommy Flanagan, plus Ray Barretto’s piquant congas, he produced the insuperable "Boss Tenor". From the blues that drips from “Hittin’ The Jug” and “Blue Ammons” to the infectious medium bounce of the standards “Close Your Eyes” and “Canadian Sunset”, and from the sophisticated swing of “Stompin’ At The Savoy” to the finger-poppin’ bop of “Confirmation” and the after-hours balladry of “My Romance”, "Boss Tenor" has something for everyone claiming to be a fan of modern jazz. Part of the ultimate audiophile Prestige stereo reissues from Analogue Productions — 25 of the most collectible, rarest, most audiophile-sounding Rudy Van Gelder recordings ever made. All cut at 33 1/3 and also released on Hybrid SACD.
All mastered from the original analog master tapes by mastering maestro Kevin Gray. 200-gram LPs pressed at Acoustic Sounds' state-of-the-art pressing plant, Quality Record Pressings, plated by Gary Salstrom. Deep groove label pressings, tip-on jackets on thick cardboard stock.
