Jackie Davis • The story of Jazz

Like Wild Bill Davis and Bill Doggett, it so happens that Jackie Davis was another alumni of Louis Jordan's group who decided to mess around with the Hammond organ... actually he did a lot more than mess around with it... he MASTERED it.

Though Jackie Davis's pedal heavy sometimes Fats Waller inspired syncopated swing sound lacks the groovy bluesiness of Wild Bill Davis -- or even Jimmy Smith and those that followed him, it is still wonderful... especially if you are a lover of the Hammond organ. - - Jackie Davis plays the organ to its fullest potential... old school style (pedals, LH chords and RH melodies)... to more modernistic fans, it might sound too much like "Roller Skating Rink" music, however, once all prejudices are dropped, the thrill of a pure musical listening experience emerges... Sadly Jackie Davis passed a few years ago... and even more sadly most of his (and Wild Bill's and Milt Buckner's) albums are out of print... therefore, I consider the availability of this CD an extremely rare treat that is a must have for any truly bonified Hammond nut ! ! !

This album by Jackie Davis was originally issued by Capitol Records; it was then called "Jumpin" Jackie".

Al igual que Wild Bill Davis y Bill Doggett, Jackie Davis fue otro ex-alumno del grupo de Louis Jordan que decidió meterse con el órgano Hammond... en realidad hizo mucho más que meterse con él... lo dominó.

Aunque el pesado pedaleo de Jackie Davis, a veces inspirado en el sonido sincopado del swing de Fats Waller, carece del groovy blues de Wild Bill Davis -- o incluso de Jimmy Smith y los que le siguieron, sigue siendo maravilloso.... especialmente si usted es un amante del órgano Hammond. - Jackie Davis toca el órgano al máximo de su potencial.... al estilo de la vieja escuela (pedales, acordes LH y melodías RH).... para los aficionados más modernistas, podría sonar demasiado como la música de "Roller Skating Rink", sin embargo, una vez que se eliminan todos los prejuicios, surge la emoción de una experiencia musical pura.... Tristemente Jackie Davis falleció hace unos años.... y aún más tristemente la mayoría de sus álbumes (y los de Wild Bill y Milt Buckner) están agotados.... por lo tanto, considero que la disponibilidad de este CD es una delicia extremadamente rara que es imprescindible para cualquier nuez de Hammond realmente bonificada! ! !

Este álbum de Jackie Davis fue publicado originalmente por Capitol Records; entonces se llamaba "Jumpin" Jackie".
