Eddie Lockjaw Davis & Johnny Griffin Quintet - The Complete Sessions [2011] (4 x CDs)

This great set collects all the exciting tracks cut by this particular band. The tracks were originally spread over eight albums. Johnny Griffin, (known as "the Little Giant") is well known to jazz fans. Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis is also well known to jazz/tenor sax fans. Both men carved out their own territories in both jazz and the tenor sax. The very fine rhythm section of Larry Gales-bass, Ben Riley-drums, and Junior Mance-piano are the perfect foundation for both horn players to just get up and blow. The rhythm section never falters-pushing the horn players while never intruding except when there's a momentary lull in the action. Listen to how Mance slips in little phrases between Davis and Griffin, while the straight-ahead bass and drums are always on the mark. This is a hot band. (Amazon)

Great, exciting collection of underrated jazz.
