Gene Ammons Abdullahs Fiesta (vinyl record)
Jessie Miller trumpet Gene Ammons tenor sax Gene Jug Ammons was one of the tenor giants of his era. He had a big, deep tone that was perfect for everything from warm ballads to grooveintensive blues or sweet swing. He could blow with the best, too. Ammons record label, Prestige, allowed him to record prolifically in the 50s and early 60s because he was so popular. Fortunately, the wealth of recordings allowed Ammons to maintain his popularity while, from 1962 to 69, he was incarcerated on a drugpossession conviction. Though Ammons died in 1974, his music has withstood the test of time. I do not own the copyright to the music, the recording and the photos.
