Eddie “Lockjaw“Davis and Morris Lane - Kickin‘and Wailin‘ (1962) [re-rip]

For all those bop lovers and ‘Lockjaw’ fans here’s a rare opportunity to hear Eddie Davis way before he claimed his jaws and started his ever so popular career churning out some of the best classic hard bop and soul jazz albums emerging out of the late fifties and the sixties. Anyone familiar with his style and energy will soon recognize the dynamic ability and poise he had back then only to improve and mellow. The tunes are typically short but not in any way entertaining. Some were to become his trademarks for later. The sound for the era is mono with noticeable sound imperfections. However with a bit of TLC, this bunch of compositions shapes up well for even most discerning listener. This album is essentially a compilation of his earlier works and is completed with the last four tracks taken from the same period of another great tenor player in that of Morris Lane. In the end any jazz enthusiast can relish in these classic sounds.
