EDDIE 'LOCKJAW' DAVIS

HEY, LOCK!

Description:
20 Tracks. Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis was the prototype mainstream musician and one of the tenor saxists with the strongest personality that jazz music has ever produced. As a self taught musician, he created his own unmistakable style combining the aggressive with the smooth. He formed his own excellent combos and in 1952 Count Basie recruited him on for his renewed Orchestra as one of the main solo voices. This CD focuses on some interesting recordings Lockjaw produced in New York between 1950 and 1953 with small bands featuring Wynton Kelly, Billy Taylor and Bill Doggett amongst others.
