Review:
Truly great boogie-woogie
All three of these Chronological Classics discs of Albert Ammons are
just brilliant. Ammons was a phenomenal pianist and probably my
favourite among the great boogie/blues pianists of the time. His
technique is breathtaking and the result is immensely enjoyable music
which for me is often quite impossible to sit still to. The
recordings are as good as we can expect from the period – which is
pretty decent throughout – and this set represents an excellent
collection of his work. (I confess that I don’t know how complete
it is, but it’s pretty thorough.)
In my view, you
simply can’t go wrong with these discs. Very warmly recommended.
