Info for The Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis Cookbook, Vol. 1 (Remastered)
Tenor saxophonist Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis had been a pioneer of the organ/tenor format for nearly a decade, and had featured the talented Shirley Scott in person and on record since 1955, but the present album (his first for Prestige) was truly something else. By adding woodwind wizard Jerome Richardson as a guest artist and featuring him primarily on flute, an unusual and instantly popular ensemble texture was born that would lead to two further volumes of Davis’ soulful musical recipes. Everyone plays with the deepest feeling throughout, and Richardson switches to tenor for a brief bit of battling with the leader on “Three Deuces.” Thanks to the recent discovery of the stereo master tapes, this RVG reissue marks the first appearance of the classic album in true stereo, and also includes a new alternate take of “But Beautiful” as well as the bonus track “Avalon.”
The first volume of „The Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis Cookbook“ is a potent dose of blues-based mainstream jazz. Accompanied by the soul-jazz organist Shirley Scott, Davis lays down lovely ballads ('But Beautiful'), mid-tempo cookers ('The Chef'), and high-octane wailers ('In the Kitchen') that should leave Davis fans, and those who relish smoky, late-'50s jazz of this stripe, salivating. Davis's bold, rolling tenor sax is in fine form here, and with its strong performances and song selection VOL. 1 arguably bests the two successive volumes. Still, anyone who digs what they hear on this set will certainly want to check out the others.
