Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars The Third Time Is Another Charm.......2001-02-09

Prestige's third CD in the Gentle Jug series provides nearly an hour of memorable ballads from tenor saxophonist Gene Ammons. I'm not a big jazz organ fan, and seven of the 11 tunes here include an organist, but the saxman's emotional ballad style catches your attention and sets this album apart from other organ CDs. You'll have to look far to find better mood music than Ammons' "Didn't We," "Angel Eyes," "We'll Be Together Again," "Lush Life" or "You Better Go Now." This is an album to play at night when you're with someone you love -- just like the first two "Gentle Jug" CDs.

4 out of 5 stars still good after all these years.......2000-10-31

For this third volume of gentle music by the Jug, Prestige has gathered what was left from the other 2, and the results are still ok, with great moments like Didnýt we and Angel eyes, but no weaknesses at all. This album is heavier on organ combos than its predecessors, but this strange instrument is handled at all times with the care our ears deserve, so it works. Late night music and a remainder of that Ammons deserves a place that jazz critics have denied him for decades now. Recommended listening for everyone, except for organ haters.
