Albert Ammons was one of the big three of late-'30s boogie-woogie along
with Pete Johnson and Meade Lux Lewis. Arguably the most powerful of the
three, Ammons was also flexible enough to play swing music. Ammons
played in Chicago clubs from the 1920s on, although he also worked as a
cab driver for a time. Starting in 1934, he led his own band in Chicago,
and he made his first records in 1936. In 1938, Ammons appeared at
Carnegie Hall with Pete Johnson and Meade Lux Lewis, an event that
really helped launch the boogie-woogie craze. Ammons recorded with the
other pianists in duets and trios, fit right in with the Port of Harlem
Jazzmen on their Blue Note session, appeared regularly at Cafe Society,
recorded as a sideman with Sippie Wallace in the 1940s, and he even cut
a session with his son, the great tenorman Gene Ammons. Albert Ammons
worked steadily throughout the 1940s, playing at President Harry
Truman's inauguration in 1949; he died later that year. Many of his
recordings are currently available on CD.
