This release presents Gene Ammons' classic album Boss Tenor (Prestige 7369) in its entirety. Recorded in a quintet format with Ammons as the only horn, it also features Tommy Flanagan on piano, Doug Watkins on bass, Art Taylor on drums, and Ray Barretto on congas. As a bonus, we have added the complete (and difficult to find) LP Angel Eyes (Prestige 7369). Ammons is backed here by two different groups featuring Frank Wess, Mal Waldron, and organist Johnny "Hammond" Smith, among others.
