Buck Clayton with Buddy Tate - Buck & Buddy blow the blues (1961) [re-rip]

A romping little session from Buck Clayton and Buddy Tate - served up in a looser, more relaxed setting than the former's albums for Columbia, and a slightly more swing-based mode than the latter's dates for Chess! Both horn players get plenty of room to solo in the open-ended Swingville mode - Buck on trumpet and Buddy on both tenor and clarinet - and the group's a nice one too, since Sir Charles Thompson's playing piano, Gene Ramey's on bass, and Gus Johnson's on drums. Titles include "Blue Creek", "Blue Breeze", "Blue Ebony", "Rompin At Red Bank", and "Dallas Delight". © Dusty Groove, Inc.

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.

Buster Bailey - All About Memphis

Buster Bailey was one of the top clarinetists to emerge during the 1920s but he led relatively few sessions throughout his long career. This LP features Bailey with a quartet (along with pianist Red Richards, bassist Gene Ramey and drummer Jimmie Crawford) and, with the horns of trumpeter Herman Autrey, trombonist Vic Dickenson and altoist Hilton Jefferson added, a septet. In addition to W.C. Handy tunes, the other five songs are Bailey originals that mix together swing and the flavor of New Orleans jazz. It's a fine outing for the classic clarinetist. - Scott Yanow / AMG
