	Prestige Profiles Vol. 10: Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis
		Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis is frequently seen as a tenor saxophonist who provides a direct link from the Big Band era of the 1940s and the soul jazz phenomena of the later 1950s.
		Davis is certainly not the only such link (Illinois Jacquet and Gene Ammons spring to mind), but he certainly was one of the most popular and beloved.
		Davis also recorded a series of collaborations with Johnny Griffin that were released on Prestige and reissued by Fantasy under the OJC imprint, but no selections are included here from those discs.

	Bagatellen: Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis - Streetlights (Prestige)
		Davis was at a bit of a crossroads when the two albums- I Only Have Eyes for You and Trackin’- were birthed at the Van Gelder compound on the single day in ’62.
		Davis' toothsome tone slow-dissolves with the pleasing piquancy of a sugar-dusted lemon drop, though he’s never one to apply syrup or saccharine sentimentality in his robust voicing of a line.
		Davis is one of the few artists whose work brings out the completist impulse in me (a nigh impossible pursuit given his proliferation of sideman appearances over a four decade-plus career).

	The Columbia/OKeh Joe Venuti and Eddie Lang Sessions
		Eddie Lang was as seminal a figure as there is in jazz.
		Eddie Lang has to be one of the most underrated performers in the history of jazz.
		Eddie solos a little here and there, but is mostly relegated to supporting the proceedings.

	Keep Swinging: Eddie Lockjaw Davis Cookbook
		Good music is like a good meal; Eddie Lockjaw Davis must have been thought, as he made three albums in the 1950s with the titles The Cookbook.
		Eddie Davis, Jaws for friends, was born in 1922 in New York City and started to play at Monroe's Uptown House, New York in the late 1930s, eight months after he bought his own horn.
		Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Jaws voor zijn vrienden, werd geboren in New York in 1922 en speelde in de jaren dertig, acht maanden nadat hij zijn eerste instrument gekocht had, al in Monroe's Uptown House, New York.

	CD Review of Eddie Davis - Prestige Profiles, Vol. 10 on Prestige Records @ jazzreview.com
		Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis was a fl man striving to be heard in a very real historical hot-bed; it was not uncommon for such "aggressors" to be misunderstood.
		Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and Shirley Scott will always be remembered for their profound harmonic integration of bebop, blues, and gospel.
		Davis' version is obviously strong enough for Prestige to still be capitalizing on it 47 years later.

		Bio: Possessor of a cutting and immediately identifiable tough tenor tone, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis could hold his own in a saxophone battle with anyone.
		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.

		Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and Shirley Scott traffic in music that comes from the gut as much as the intellect.
		Davis skates in over the brisk tempo at a contrastingly relaxed pace, refusing to be rushed by his partners’ shared ardor.
		Davis once again affects a leisurely pose at the front and Scott’s warmly glowing chords support him all the way.

	Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis : OLDIES.com
		Davis began to make his mark on the jazz scene in his home-town when he worked at Clark Monroe's Uptown House in the late 30s.
		Despite this establishment's close ties with the emergence of bebop a few years later, Davis' tenor saxophone playing was rooted in swing and the blues, and early in his career he displayed a marked affinity with the tough school of Texas tenors.
		In 1952 Davis made the first of several appearances with the Count Basie band, which extended through the 60s and into the 70s.

	Jazz, Dance Bands, Vocalists - Paulinho Da Costa -> John Davis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		While Davis is proving just what a fine tenor player he is, Bagby adds just the right amount of cheesy organ and Rice contributes some basic unobtrusive drumming.
		These two delicious dishes were served up back in 1958, and represent the first time tenor saxophonist Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis donned the apron to lead his own sessions for Prestige.
		Davis' keyboard partner on these albums is Shirley Scott, probably the hippest of the "true" jazz organists, and the two of them keep things simmering, even when the heat is turned down low.

	CD Review of Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis - The Best of Eddie Lockjaw Davis on Prestige @ jazzreview.com
		That is a question for another time -- now is the time for Lockjaw, one of the finest, most distinctive tenor stylists jazz has ever produced.
		Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis (1922-1986) was not an innovator, but a stylist firmly in the Coleman Hawkins/Ben Webster vein: breathy, sumptuous, the sound of an affectionate, burly bear-hug, albeit a bit rougher and craggier, almost closer to a blues/R&B honker (which is not a knock, btw).
		This particular Best of covers the recordings he made for Prestige in the late 50s & early 60s, many of which are firmly in the soul-jazz mold, that then-very popular amalgam of bebop, R&B and gospel.

	2001 Taste of the NFL
		Johnny Griffin from Chicago and Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis from New York City dueled with tenor saxophones on many sessions, Live At Minton’s being one of the best.
		Davis seems to seems to want to leap out and just wail from his first truly honking notes on “Midnight Sun." There’s a deep down blues spirit behind his playing which gives a greasy smoke-filled ambience to his sound.
		I don’t know whose idea it was to have Parlan play the celeste and while he plays it well, it just does not work.

	Jazzmatazz Review - Blues Up and Down - Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis/Johnny Griffin
		The bluesy earthy-toned Davis is the more swing-oriented of the two players—he played in the Count Basie Orchestra.
		Many of the tunes are blues based and the format of the tunes is usually the same—the theme is stated in unison, then there are solos first by Davis, then by Griffin.
		Despite the formula of the format, the playing is exciting throughout due to the energy and skill of their playing.

	Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis & Shirley Scott - Bacalao \| internet radio on icebergradio.com
		One of the big-toned tenor men she worked with extensively was Stanley Turrentine, whom she married; another was Eddie "lockjaw" Davis.
		Recorded in Rudy Van Gelder's New Jersey studio in 1959, Bacalao is among the many solid hard bop/soul-jazz albums that resulted from Davis' association with Scott.
		The two of them enjoyed an incredibly strong rapport in the late '50s and early '60s, and they are very much in sync on Bacalao (which unites them with bassist George Duvivier, drummer Arthur Edgehill, and two Latin percussion men: Luis Perez and salsa giant Ray Barretto).

		Tenorman Eddie "lockjaw" Davis had already been a potent force in jazz for 35 years when he recorded this set but as it turned out his SteepleChase date (his next-to-last session) was one of the strongest of his career.
		Accompanied by a trio led by pianist Kenny Drew, Lockjaw really tears into these standards which are highlighted by "I Only Have Eyes for You," two versions of "There Is No Greater Love" (the alternate version was released for the first time on this CD reissue), "Four" and the title cut.

		Count me in as a fan of Lockjaw Davis´ output with Basie.
		It´s quite interesting, that during the forties Lockjaw was the man, who at Minton´s Playhouse had that kind of job of managing the bandstand, taking care that no unqualified players would frequent the bandstand.
		Even Miles Davis, not always known for praising other musicians, spoke with the deepest respect about Lockjaw.

		Through the Miles Davis Estate, Blue Note Records is making available three Symphony Sid broadcasts from Birdland in 1951.
		I'm not a Davis fan, frankly I much despise his style and all, though a talented master of the trumpet he may be, but being unable to hear the bass lines, I feel like I've been rid of all the joy I could take from this recording.
		This is a noisy record, it may be fun for those, who find loads of passion in sticking their ears into their speakers, but I feel bad, when I hear this one.
