Product Information

Tenor saxophonist Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis' group gives Al Smith and Mildred Anderson sympathetic backing in these two fine albums recorded for the Prestige / Bluesville label in 1959 and 1960. Smith, whose bold style was greatly influenced by the Gospel tradition, had the earthy quality often found in the best blues artists. His singing ranges from full-voiced and declamatory to intimate and confidential, but it always carried a charge of vitality that jolts the listener into full awareness. Mildred Anderson possesses a very individual Blues style, neither haunting, nor painful and filled with nostalgia, and certainly not the pretty, dressed up Blues then in vogue. Hers is the rough-hewn, pay-youback, swinging blues, direct, forceful and unsentimental. Shirley Scott, Wendell Marshall, George Duvivier, and Arthur Edgehill drive powerfully, while on both sessions "Jaws" brings his huge, bustling highly vocalized tenor to bear with idiomatic authority on the material.
