Music reviews of Blue Gene
Music Review: Another blowing session for Jug
Rating: 4 Stars
Prestige Records loved putting together what became known as "blowing sessions": get a handful of musicians together in the recording studio and let them jam around the chords of a few simple blues and standards. These weren't working bands by a long shot, and most of the players were part of the label's stable of players. Depending on the mood everyone was in, the material at hand, and whether styles jelled or not usually determined the success of the date.
This date is only mildly successful, with Jug having an off day. (It would be his last album for almost two years: another drug conviction would take him off the scene yet again. Maybe that had an effect on his playing here.) Pepper Adams, though, on baritone sax does his best to save the date; he is especially good on the long (13+ minutes) slow blues BLUE GENE. Idrees Sulieman is a stark trumpeter (he sounds a lot like Donald Byrd to me, but less lyrical), and Mal Waldron can sound like a minimalist player on piano at times, hammering away at a single note or two during a solo. This album is okay, but two years hence, when Ammons would record again, the results would be a whole lot better.
