Thank you...thank you so much for posting this video. Ammons was one of my Father's favorite artist! I was born in 1951 and grow up listening to all the GREAT jazz artist...and I still do. Mr. Ammons still remains one of my favorites...so needless to say, when I logged on to UA-cam and this video was here it brought a big smile to my face!!!
The "Boss" speaks ! One of the greatest Tenorsax players of all times !!!!!

Thank you for this. I never saw him play before. He is so present and modern, not stiff and collegiate at all. Thank you so much!
My Grandfather ❤️🕊️🙏🏽
I love love love Gene Ammons.
this is groove, kids. only comes with wisdom, experience and serving the music.
Would like to hear James Carter with this.
