But though he was a modernist, Ammons maintained that breathy, old-school romantic approach to the tenor. Boss Tenor, a quintet session from 1960, is one of Ammons' very best albums. Accompaniment by Tommy Flanagan, one of the best mainstream pianists ever, certainly doesn't hurt, either.

The quality of recordings is excellent. Gene Ammons was brilliant and a joy to hear. Straight up, traditional good 'ol tenor with the tone of a superstar, great accompanying musicians, great length and recording quality, a real super jazz record through and through. 2 people found this helpful.

Widely regarded as an original founder of the "Chicago school of tenor sax," Ammons' nonchalant, yet indelible sound-echoing the soft, breathy tone of Lester Young-drove him to a great deal of fame within the post- World War II jazz crowds of the '50s
