Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis (1921-1986) 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 hisrenewed 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.
Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis
Active Decades: '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s and '80s
Born: Mar 02, 1922 in New York, NY
Died: Nov 03, 1986 in Culver City, CA
Genre: Jazz
Possessor of a cutting and immediately identifiable tough tenor tone, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis could hold his own in a saxophone battle with anyone. Early on, he picked up experience playing with the bands of Cootie Williams (1942-1944), Lucky Millinder, Andy Kirk (1945-1946), and Louis Armstrong. He began heading his own groups from 1946 and Davis' earliest recordings as a leader tended to be explosive R&B affairs with plenty of screaming from his horn; he matched wits successfully with Fats Navarro on one session. Davis was with Count Basie's Orchestra on several occasional (including 1952-1953, 1957, and 1964-1973) and teamed up with Shirley Scott's trio during 1955-1960. During 1960-1962, he collaborated in some exciting performances and recordings with Johnny Griffin, a fellow tenor who was just as combative as Davis. After temporarily retiring to become a booking agent (1963-1964), Davis rejoined Basie. In his later years, Lockjaw often recorded with Harry "Sweets" Edison and he remained a busy soloist up until his death. Through the decades, he recorded as a leader for many labels, including Savoy, Apollo, Roost, King, Roulette, Prestige/Jazzland/Moodsville, RCA, Storyville, MPS, Black & Blue, Spotlite, SteepleChase, Pablo, Muse, and Enja.
