The Robust Tenor Sax of 'Lockjaw' Davis

Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis is one of my favorite powerhouse tenor saxophone people. The man has music with so much muscle and also his material packs a tremendous sense of swing. Today, I got back into his music and his sound was so fresh and robust. His backup guys were the master, Oscar Peterson on piano, The profound Ray Brown on bass and a good and feisty Jimmie Smith on the drums. My favorite tunes in this particular set were, 'This Can't Be Love' and a clever number, 'I wished on the Moon.' Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis and the incredible Oscar Peterson on the piano....man, what marvelous music!
