Immerse yourself in the soulful sounds of Gene Ammons with his album Nice An’ Cool, released in 1961. This collection features timeless standards that highlight Ammons’ masterful tenor saxophone, supported by a talented piano-bass-drums trio including Richard Wyands, Doug Watkins, and J.C. Heard.
The album stands out as one of the top classic jazz albums on vinyl, focusing on ballads that create a captivating mood rather than showcasing elaborate solos. Notably, the opening track, a graceful rendition of ‘Til There Was You,’ avoids sentimentality, showcasing Ammons’ ability to convey deep emotion. Each track, ranging from three to eight minutes, offers a perfect balance of structure and expression.
