Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis & Johnny Griffin Quintet
Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and Johnny Griffin, two tenor stars of the '50's and '60's teamed up for several recording sessions that offer a great contrast in tenor saxophone styles, and more importantly, lots of hard swinging blowing sessions.
Lockjaw's career predates the '50's; he can be found partnering with bop luminary Fats Navarro on a date for Savoy Records in the late '40's. His style could be called a mixture of the older style of swing tenor, like Ben Webster, with lots of elements of the next style, BeBop. An unusual technique, and fast fingerings are a signature of the artist's work.
Griffin debuted in the '50's and is a Bop stylist all the way, featuring a blisteringly fast technique, and a wailing, plaintive tone. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
