This leg of the Gene Ammons chronology begins with two pretty vocals by
Christine Chapman. Jug is in the background, offering emotional support through
the tenor sax. These tidbits are soon forgotten as several powerful blowing
sessions unfold. The lush, theatrical renditions of Evrything Depends on You and
When Youre Gone are thrilling examples of where the jazz ballad was at in 1949.
The elegant boppish swing of Hot Springs is liberating. Little Slam eventually
reveals itself as a reconstituted King Porter Stomp. The next session is even
better: Pennies From Heaven is all delicacy and beatitude. The Last Mile, also
known as Rockin Rocker, does an impressive slow grind on simple blues changes.
Cha-Bootie is definitive swaggering Gene Ammons, full of soul. During Full Moon
the band bursts all restraints and lunges forward with horns blazing. On March
5th 1960, Ammons started laying down thunder tracks for the Prestige label. Bye
Bye sounds like Soft Winds with salt and Tabasco. Ammons leads a hand-clapping
moralistic singalong called Let It Be. Thats Sonny Stitt blowing down a baritone
sax. He comes round front, switches to tenor and duels with Ammons on Blues Up
and Down, a showpiece that would be revived by Johnny Griffin and Eddie Lockjaw
Davis during the early 1960s. How cool it is to hear the original version of
this two-sax workout, followed by a brisk You Can Depend On Me? Great rhythm
section in Duke Jordan, Tommy Potter and Kansas City Jo Jones. Teddy Williams
must have opened his mouth abnormally wide when he sang with this band. Its kind
of outrageous, like hes doing Billy Eckstine impressions. On Dumb Woman Blues
his chortling makes a bit more sense but hes still really loud and overbearing.
For this kind of singing, Eddie Cleanhead Vinson would be preferable. The
Prestige rendering of Chabootie is a marvel of precision. Stitt was a capable
baritone player, and Art Blakey has appeared as a worthy successor for Jones.
Who Put the Sleeping Pills in Rip Van Winkles Coffee? is surprisingly stupid,
and no amount of hot blowing can rescue the song from itself after Gene leads
the band in a stilted singalong. The melody is a turkey, which explains why this
track rarely appears on reissues. Gravy is immediately recognizable as Walkin,
that great durable anthem of hard bop. Once again, Stitts baritone is a bitch.
Easy Glide sparkles with a vintage early-50s show time arrangement, very
theatrical. The disc closes out with four sides issued on the Chess label. While
Tenor Eleven is pleasantly stimulating, Jug really finds himself in the ballad
groove with the help of primitive reverb and maybe something else to steady the
nerves and enhance his mood. Three ballads and youre out.
