| | Gene Ammons Legends Of Acid Jazz CD Gene Ammons Discography of CDs
Digitally remastered by Kirk Felton (1997, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).
Ignore the title on this one-it's decidedly not acid jazz. It is, however, a fine collection of Ammons early-'70s work along with two numbers from 1962. This is jazz in a funky vein. When he returned to working in the late '60s, Ammons embraced the changes that had taken place in the jazz world during his lengthy '60s incarceration (on drug charges). Here, an electric guitarist accompanies him on all of the '70s recordings, and some tracks also feature electric piano.
The two tracks from a decade prior (Willie Dixon's "My Babe" and Don Gibson's "I Can't Stop Loving You") find Ammons backed by an organ trio-one of his favored ensemble formats. These pieces stand up nicely alongside the more contemporary recordings and should lead a listener to investigate his PREACHIN' and THE GENE AMMONS STORY: ORGAN COMBOS albums.

When I was a teenager in Chicago, we'd play music at parties. Kids would gather around someone with a guitar and we'd sing the popular songs of the day, mostly folk songs. It was nothing odd or unusual. It was how we would entertain ourselves. Unfortunately in this electronic age, that kind of thing does not happen as much anymore. I am fortunate that my home has been filled with music. My kids, Charlie and Jessica, learned the piano when they were little, both sing and Charlie plays the bass and guitar. Several of my friends play and sing. When we have parties, the guitars come out, percussion instruments are passed around and we make music. There is nothing better.Home, family and music are the focus of my life. The songs on Home is Where the Music Plays paint a bit of a picture of this life I live in a beautiful community at the base of Boney Mountain fifty miles north of Los Angeles, California. The style of the songs range from simple folk to protest songs, to a little jazz. The whole project was digitally recorded in my family room which until recently doubled as a laundry room. More on that later, but don't worry. You won't hear the washing machine or dryer. We did one thing at a time. Here is a little bit on the songs:Little Man and Sleepy Eyes harkens back to a beautiful spring day sitting with my kids in an outdoor cafe in Hermosa Beach, California. It's a snapshot of a moment in time that I wanted to hold onto. There You Were is yet another song for my wife who really did save me when I did not have much faith in myself. Every now and then I have to look back to see how far I have come and marvel at this amazing woman who has so much strength and beauty. Talking to the Wall is about the other side of a strong relationships, ...
