Gene Ammons, My Way (1971)

Friday's lunch record is "Gene Ammons, My Way" (1971). A fine soul jazz album with a flavor of easy listening. The use of strings on a few songs is interesting. There is Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On", Burt Bacharach's "A House Is Not A Home", the title song :My Way" by Paul Anka. Many quality players are on board, Idris Mohammed (drums), Chuck Rainey or Ron carter (bass), Roland Hanna (electric piano) along with others.Dated but enjoyable jazz on Prestige Records. The YouTube sample song "Sack Full Of Dreams" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQNDaEhIM0I . . . . bucko
