Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis - Jazz at the Philharmonic, 1983 (Vinyl LP, Pablo, 1983) - EX / EX

Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis’ Jazz at the Philharmonic 1983 captures the powerful tenor saxophonist in the setting that Norman Granz made synonymous with hard-swinging, straight-ahead jazz. Davis brings his big, blues-rich tone and driving phrasing to a lively programme built around improvisation and ensemble interplay. A strong later-period recording from one of the most immediately recognisable tenor players in post-war jazz.

Pablo Records, 1983.
