Brad Posted October 29, 2005 Report Posted October 29, 2005 I picked this up last week from Dusty Groove. According to them, it's taken or culled (as they put it) from Roulette recordings in 1958. I can't find any discographical info on it in AMG so if anybody has any, please post. The music is hellacious. Really top quality Lockjaw and Shirley is divine. This is really worth picking up. I just noticed it's on back order. If you can pick it up. There's nothing extraordinary going on here that you haven't heard before, it's just prime playing from everybody. Very enjoyable. A highlight for me was "On the Street Where You Live" of My Fair Lady vintage. Quote
brownie Posted October 29, 2005 Report Posted October 29, 2005 Brad, the Lonehill release includes the full material from a Roulette album 'Eddie Davis Trio Featuring Shirley Scott' from March 1958 and from a Roost album from May 1958 which had the same title. Presume the Roost album came out first. Both with George Duvivier and Arthur Edgehill. This release smokes! Quote
Shawn Posted October 29, 2005 Report Posted October 29, 2005 Yes, this is DEFINITELY worth picking up. Now if someone would get around to releasing the "Count Basie presents the Eddie Davis Trio" album..... Quote
