Review by Bengt Erik Sæther

The album Blue Greens And Beans by Gene Ammons All Stars is a must-have for jazz enthusiasts. This album features some of the finest jazz musicians of the time, including pianist Mal Waldron, drummer Art Taylor, and bassist Wendell Marshall, among others.

The album's title track, "Blue Greens And Beans," is a standout piece that showcases the group's impeccable musicianship. The track is a bluesy, soulful number that features Ammons' signature tenor saxophone sound. The band's tight rhythm section provides the perfect backdrop for Ammons' improvisations, making for a truly memorable listening experience.

Other highlights on the album include "The Twister," a fast-paced tune that showcases the group's technical prowess, and "Juggernaut," a slow, brooding piece that highlights Ammons' ability to convey emotion through his playing.
