The record
Ten tracks pulled together by Prestige in 1964, and the titles set the temperature -- Blues Up And Down, The Happy Blues, Blue Gene, Blue Ammons, Jug Handle. The credits name only Gene Ammons on tenor, with Rudy Van Gelder engineering and Bob Weinstock supervising, so whoever else played is undocumented. What you get is that broad, unhurried tone, one blues after another.
