All the Gin Is Gone

All the Gin Is Gone is an album by the American jazz saxophonist Jimmy Forrest recorded in 1959 but not released by the Delmark label until 1965.

[1][2][3][4] Allmusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated[5] "This was the first album that tenor saxophonist Jimmy Forrest made after his R&B phase ended.

Particularly notable is that the set served as the recording debut of guitarist Grant Green; completing the band are pianist Harold Mabern, bassist Gene Ramey and drummer Elvin Jones.

The music is essentially melodic and blues-based hard bop that looks toward soul-jazz.

Everyone sounds in fine form".All compositions by Jimmy Forrest except where noted
