The Boss Is Back! is an album by saxophonist Gene Ammons recorded in 1969 and released on the Prestige label. [3]
Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by Scott Yanow stating, "The executives at Prestige must have been felt ecstatic when they heard Gene Ammons first play after his release from a very severe seven-year jail sentence. The great tenor proved to still be in his prime, his huge sound was unchanged and he was hungry to make new music... Ammons shows that he had not forgotten how to jam the blues either". [1]
