This is late period work from Wild Bill Davidson with the Yoshio Toyama Dixieland Saints, a septet led by cornet-playing leader Toyama meaning that there are two players on the front line. The unit whips through the classics, from the early jazz era "Shiek of Araby," "Limehouse Blues," "Wolverine Blues," "I Surrender Dear," and many others. It also includes two takes of "Oh Baby," and the Toyama original "Sakura, Sakura." Davidson is in excellent form here, and this Japanese group is on fire, especially clarinetist Masahiro Gotoh. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide

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.
