4.0 out of 5 stars
A treasure trove: two big-label "commercial dates" that are more soulful and inspired than many "artists" indie vanity projects.,
By Samuel Chell (Kenosha,, WI United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Lock the Fox / Fox & Hounds (Audio CD)
Inarguably one of the ten top tenors in the history of that little-known American art form called "jazz," Eddie Davis should have received as much respect and appreciation as his Italian counterparts who work the Met and La Scala. Briefly he was signed to a major commercial label--RCA--and this two-fer documents the results. Like Charlie Parker or Sonny Stitt, "Jaws" didn't require more than a chorus or two to get his piece said. As a result, the listener benefits from a full and diverse program. And though the emphasis is less on a "lounge sound" or on "preachin" in the company of a Hammond B-3, the sound, the rhythm, the ideas and structures are vintage Lockjaw Davis--he's more "raw-sounding" than Bird or Sonny but no less in command of his horn and the repertory.
Where else can you find a tenor saxophonist playing this many great tunes at this price? |
