Review:
Tenor saxophonist Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis recorded enough material over these two sessions to fill up four records. The seven selections included on this album were recorded during the same period as Davis's better-known Cookbook albums. The album includes: Jerome Richardson swapping between baritone, flute and tenor on three of the tunes; bassist George Duvivier; drummer Arthur Edgehill and of course the 'Queen of the Organ' Shirley Scott. As a group the players swing hard covering some solid originals by both Eddie and Shirley, some blues and an occasional ballad. It is not hard to see why this Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis band was very popular in its time being such a powerful and accessible band even today's mixed jazz world. A definite classic of this genre. ~ Extract by Scott Yanow, AMG. Source: https://www.allmusic.com/album/smokin-mw0000279506.

Reseña:
El saxofonista tenor Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis grabó suficiente material en estas dos sesiones como para llenar cuatro discos. Las siete selecciones incluidas en este álbum se grabaron durante el mismo periodo que los álbumes más conocidos de Davis, Cookbook. El álbum incluye: Jerome Richardson, que alterna entre barítono, flauta y tenor en tres de los temas; el bajista George Duvivier; el baterista Arthur Edgehill y, por supuesto, la "Reina del Órgano" Shirley Scott. Como grupo, los músicos tocan con fuerza algunos sólidos temas originales de Eddie y Shirley, algunos blues y alguna balada ocasional. No es difícil ver por qué esta banda de Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis fue muy popular en su tiempo siendo una banda tan poderosa y accesible incluso en el mundo del jazz mixto de hoy. Un clásico definitivo de este género. ~ Extracto de Scott Yanow, AMG. Fuente: https://www.allmusic.com/album/smokin-mw0000279506.
