LOCKJAW DAVIS WILL SLIT YOUR THROAT AND DRINK YOUR BLOOD!!&#33

Speaking of not mistaking niceness for weakness, Basie's time is incredibly strong in the opening sequence of "Whirlybird" that started this thread. I mean, everything he plays whether he's moving "slow" or "fast," perfectly clarifies where the beat is and what the tempo is. The time of the entire band is emanating from the piano bench. Smile, Count. You're on Candid Camera 50 years later and you're killin' it.

Hey Lock!

 

I let this band move in because of the solos, but I got married to it because of the heads, and that's all Jaws. Johnny Griffin certainly needed nobody to play lead for him, but Lock took it anyway, and Griff went right along. That shit is just right!
