Full performer name: Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis/The Tommy Flanagan Trio. Personnel: Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis (tenor saxophone); Tommy Flanagan (piano); Keter Betts (bass); Bobby Durham (drums). Recorded at RCA Recording Studios, Los Angeles, California on May 3, 1976. Originally released on Pablo (2310-778). Includes original release liner notes by Benny Green. Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1991, Fantasy Studio, Berkeley, California). Personnel: Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis (tenor saxophone); Tommy Flanagan (piano); Bobby Durham (drums). Liner Note Author: Benny Green . Recording information: RCA Recording Studios, Los Angeles, CA (05/03/1976). Unknown Contributor Role: Keter Betts. A perfect example of Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis' playing, this superior quartet set (a Pablo date that has been reissued on CD) features the tough-toned tenor swinging hard on standards, showing his warmth on ballads, and coming up with inventive ideas within the swing/bop tradition. With sterling support by pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Keter Betts, and drummer Bobby Durham (Ella Fitzgerald's trio at the time), Lockjaw sounds at his best on such numbers as "Lover," "On a Clear Day," and even "The Good Life." ~ Scott Yanow
