This release presents the complete Cookbook sessions by Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis in a quartet/quintet format with Shirley Scott on organ and, on some tracks, Jerome Richardson on flute, as well as tenor and baritone sax. This is the first time that all of this material is contained on a single set and in the order in which it was recorded. This set includes the complete contents of the original LPs The Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis Cookbook (Vols. 1 to 3; Prestige 7141, 7161 & 7219), Jaws (Prestige 7154) & Smokin' (Prestige 7301), plus all of the other songs from the sessions; and a quartet set by the exact same personnel (but with Scott on piano instead of organ) added as a bonus.
From “E.T.” to “Harry Potter” and “Jurassic Park” – Great Music from the Movies for Solo Piano. Austrian jazz pianist David Helbock plays music by multiple Oscar- and Grammy-winning American film composer John Williams.
Robinsongs brings you perhaps the definitive round up of cool tracks to be released by CTI Records and affiliated label Kudu on a Double CD.
This third installment in the "Diggin' Deeper: The Roots of Acid Jazz" series, which collects likely funk, jazz, soul, fusion, and disco sides from the deep Columbia/Epic/Sony catalog, includes such gems as Art Blakey's "Cubano Chant" and Lalo Schifrin's "Jaws," a Shaft-meets-Frankenstein hybrid version of the "Jaws" movie theme.
This set moves and grooves from end to end, and even listeners with little interest in the acid jazz movement that surfaced some two decades after most of these tracks were recorded will find a great little alternative dance album lurking here.
Whatever it is or isn't, acid jazz is full of groove DNA and even when chilled, it makes the feet move.
