Eddie Lockjaw Davis-Johnny Griffin • Live At Minton's [1961]

 

Review
by Bob Rusch
This duo (tenor saxophonists Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and Johnny Griffin) made about a dozen LPs together, most for Jazzland and Prestige, and they are all worth investigating. They had a special affinity for pianist Thelonious Monk's music, and while there were other sets which emphasize that better, the Monk pieces ("Straight No Chaser"/"In Walked Bud") included in the program on this live set were among the highlights.

Reseña
por Bob Rusch
Este dúo (los saxofonistas tenores Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis y Johnny Griffin) grabaron juntos una docena de LPs, la mayoría para Jazzland y Prestige, y vale la pena investigarlos todos. Tenían una afinidad especial por la música del pianista Thelonious Monk, y aunque había otros sets que lo enfatizaban mejor, las piezas de Monk ("Straight No Chaser"/"In Walked Bud") incluidas en el programa de este set en directo estaban entre las más destacadas.
