Recorded in 1958, Blue Gene finds Gene Ammons at the height of his expressive powers. Supported by an outstanding sextet
featuring Idrees Sulieman, Pepper Adams and Mal Waldron, Ammons delivers a rich, soulful and deeply blues-infused performance.
Blending hard bop sophistication with early soul jazz influences, the album balances technical brilliance and heartfelt emotion. A landmark recording and one of the finest achievements of late-1950s jazz.
