Gene's music was characterised by being a highly accessible and straightforward style of jazz, redolent with influences from blues, R\u0026amp;B and soul, bringing him hits in the US R\u0026amp;B chart, although he embraced the innovations of bebop and integrated it's techniques into his distinctive approach. He was very much a part of the soul jazz movement of the '60s which introduced the electric organ into the instrumentation. This 49-track 2-CD collection comprises recordings from sessions in the early 1950s at the dawn of the vinyl LP era. It includes tracks released on singles by the Prestige, Chess, Decca and United labels, plus titles from his early 10' albums on Prestige, 'Battle Of The Saxes' and 'Favourites Vols. 1, 2 \u0026amp; 3'. It includes his Top 10 R\u0026amp;B hits 'My Foolish Heart' and 'Jug' and a new version of his 1947 hit 'Red Top'. It features recordings with Sonny Stitt, Bill Massey, Jo Jones, Duke Jordan, Tommy Potter, Art Blakey, Matthew Gee, Charles Bateman, Eugene Wright, Wesley Landers, Junior Mance, Clarence Anderson, Teddy Stewart, J.J. Johnson and others. It's a great showcase for the trademark tone and texture of his playing, and an entertaining musical snapshot of his music during a key era of his career.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCha-Bootie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull Moon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePennies From Heaven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Last Mile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlues Up And Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Can Depend On Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven Eleven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStringin' The Jug - Parts 1 ; 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Want To Be Loved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy Glide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen I Dream Of Ylou\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGravy (Walkin')\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLa Vie En Rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Can't Give You Anything But Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Lover Is Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBye Bye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack In Your Own Backyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTenor Eleven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodbye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Foolish Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJug Head Ramble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan Anyone Explain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Do Me Wrong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue And Sentimental\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Blues Up And Down Pts 1;2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmmons Boogie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEcho Chamber Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSirocco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine And Foxy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaby, Won't You Please Say Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHappiness Is Just A Thing Called Joe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot Stuff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThem There Eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUndecided\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUntil The Real Thing Comes Along\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBecause Of Rain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharmaine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeezy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomewhere Along The Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Beat (Good Time Blues)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStreet Of Dreams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust Chips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed Top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStairway To The Stars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJim Dawgs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Big Slam Parts 1 ; 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 824046358020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acrobat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.13.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vinyl Revival Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53249600290976,"sku":"824046358020","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/5899\/5360\/files\/4471450-3476119.jpg?v=1770822628","url":"https:\/\/vinylrevivalrecordstore.com\/products\/gene-ammons-meet-the-boss-the-singles-albums-collection-cd","provider":"Vinyl Revival Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
