he had stunning technique and sound and was way ahead of his time in his approach to altissimo... and the band sounds wonderfully agressive and energetic... what a clip.
When Englishman Ray Noble wrote this romantic song in 1938 it probably never entered his thoughts that it might one day become an upbeat jazz classic. This frenetic, driving Basie/Eddie Davis arrangement is the best. IMHO
Utterly unique and creative! Lockjaw is the most under-appreciated tenor player, ever. He truly played like absolutely no one else, before or since. And he kicked ever-lovin DAYLIGHTS outa that horn!
Lockjaw had blazing speed and technique. Smooth jazz players listening to this will turn them into plumbers.

brilliant playing.
someone once told me that my sound reminded them of lockjaw ... one of the hippest compliments I've ever gotten.
Eddie lockjaw Davis is a master saxophonist
self taught too
Eddie use to come to our house for a meal when he was in England,lovely guy,my husband was a sax player with a big band.
What a beast Lockjaw was 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Holy shit. His guage was set to "stun." Jaws is a true original.
you really nailed it with that comment mate so cool so true so inspiring

"This is Captain Kirk, from the surface of the planet. The phasers are having no effect on the aliens. Stand by to beam down Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis."

Incomparable
Drop an acid tab and listen to a Ben webster LP on 45 in reverse then meets Big j Mcneeley with a touch of Bogart thown in..Sheer class....Madness
Im digging the music. Thanks skeeter for sharing.
You can't do that, you cannot. And, Eddie the lockjaw Davis just did it for us and eternity...
At his best.
Saw him with the Count at the Fairfield Hall, Croydon, UK about 1965. Sat near him in the restaurant......very cool guy.
tx Bob :D just great man !!!!
Lockjaw was the man, super unique sound and style. Count Basie matchup is perfect. Basie had the greatest bands
I know this is a sax feature, but holy crap that trumpet section is insane.
2:09 - Lockjaw is steaming and Basie's look at the band saying "keep it easy, pals"... :o)
he is literally steamin at 2:05!
cigarette in the audience
