Jazz / Dixieland; Dixieland Revival
Recorded: 1966
Wild Bill Davis - Cornet
Bruce Turner - Clarinet, Sax (Alto)
Dave Murphy - Bass
Ronnie Gleaves - Piano
Wild Bill Davison played in Europe quite a bit during the second half of the 1960s. While in England the cornetist was usually joined by the Alex Welsh band but this particular set (the 1965 date is an educated guess) teams Davison with a fine sextet filled mostly with players from Freddie Randall's band of the period. The music, released for the first time in 1999, finds Wild Bill in typically exuberant form playing seven of his favorite warhorses (including "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams," "Memories of You," and "Sweet Georgia Brown") ,plus the relative obscurity "What's the Use." The ensembles are loose but coherent, Bruce Turner (on alto and clarinet) and trombonist Bert Murray get some solo space, and Wild Bill is in fine spirits. Solid Dixieland.

One of the great Dixieland trumpeters, Wild Bill Davison had a colorful and emotional style that ranged from sarcasm to sentimentality with plenty of growls and shakes. His unexpected placement of high notes was a highlight of his solos and his strong personality put him far ahead of the competition. In the 1920s, he played with the Ohio Lucky Seven, the Chubb-Steinberg Orchestra (with whom he made his recording debut), the Seattle Harmony Kings, and Benny Meroff. After he was involved in a fatal car accident that ended the life of Frankie Teschemacher in 1932 (his auto was blindsided by a taxi), Davison spent the remainder of the 1930s in exile in Milwaukee. By 1941, he was in New York and in 1943 made some brilliant recordings for Commodore (including a classic version of "That's a Plenty") that solidified his reputation. After a period in the Army, Davison became a fixture with Eddie Condon's bands starting in 1945, playing nightly at Condon's. In the 1950s, he was quite effective on a pair of albums with string orchestras, but most of his career was spent fronting Dixieland bands either as a leader or with Condon. Wild Bill toured Europe often from the 1960s, recorded constantly, had a colorful life filled with remarkable episodes, and was active up until his death. A very detailed 1996 biography (-The Wildest One by Hal Willard) has many hilarious anecdotes and shows just how unique a life Wild Bill Davison had.
