Gene Ammons - Bad! Bossa Nova (1962)



1.Pagan Love Song
2.Ca'purange
3.Anna
4.Caé Caé
5.Moito Mato Grosso
6.Yellow Bird.



Gene Ammons (Tenor Saxophone)
Bucky Pizzarelli (Spanish Guitar)
Kenny Burrell (Rhythm Guitar)
Hank Jones (Piano)
Norman Edge (Double Bass)
Oliver Jackson (Drums)
Al Hayes (Bongo).

This was Ammons' final recording before "being made an example of" and getting a lengthy jail sentence for possession of heroin; his next record would be cut over seven years later. The music is surprisingly upbeat,
with Ammons joined by two guitars (Bucky Pizzarelli and Kenny Burrell), a fine rhythm section (pianist Hank Jones, bassist Norman Edge, and drummer Oliver Jackson), and the bongos of Al Hayes for a set of Latin-flavored jazz that was masquerading as bossa nova. - AMG
