Review:
A fine compilation
This is a really good compilation of some of Albert Ammons's
great recordings. He was one of the very
finest of all the boogie-woogie piano men and there's a wealth to enjoy here
from real stompers like the classic Boogie Woogie and the opener Jump For Joy,
to atmospheric blues like Chicago In Mind.
There are some great collaborations (Bedroom Blues with Sippie Wallace
on vocals is a real gem) and the whole thing is a very decent cross-section of
Ammons's style and career. (I have appended
a track-list at the end of this review).
The sound is as good as can be expected on recordings of
this age and I can recommend it very warmly.
