About Gene Ammons
Gene Ammons, affectionately known as "The Boss" and "Jug," was a titan of the jazz scene, renowned for his powerful, soulful tenor saxophone playing. Born into a musical family in Chicago, with his father being the legendary boogie-woogie pianist Albert Ammons, Gene's journey in music was destined from the start. His career took off in the 1940s, playing with the likes of Billy Eckstine and Woody Herman, and he quickly made a name for himself with his big, blues-inflected sound. Ammons' style was a unique blend of bebop, blues, and R&B, making his music accessible and deeply soulful. Throughout his career, he recorded for prestigious labels like Prestige and Chess, leaving behind a rich discography that includes classics like "Boss Tenor."
