Info zu Goin' To The Meeting (High Definition Remaster 2023)

Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis may not have been the fastest, flashiest, or most far-out tenor saxophonist of his time, but when it came to swinging relentlessly, playing the blues with conviction, or rendering ballads with caressing tenderness he took a back seat to no one. Here’s Davis (1921-1986) at the top of his game, recorded in 1960 and 1962 when he was a Prestige Records mainstay. With the exception of one quartet track ("The Moon of Manakoora"), the self-taught ex-Basie-ite leads two separate quintets, both of which feature conga drummers–two of the best in Ray Barretto or Willie Bobo–for an added dash of Latino spice. The 1960 group finds him in the familiar company of longtime musical partners Shirley Scott and George Duvivier, organ and bass, respectively, while the long-out-of-print 1962 session that produced the wonderful LP Goin’ to the Meeting is enhanced by the undervalued pianist Horace Parlan.

"Goin' to the Meetin showcases Horace Parlan in a way even his Blue Note records didn't. While Davis appears to be the leader because of his beat generation bluesed-out swing in the solos and brief melodic statements, it's Parlan, on the title track, "Pass the Hat," and "Night and Day," who carries the tunes and turns them into a very sophisticated and subtle kind of jazz that allows for both the simplicity of a raw-toned, grooved-out blues statement and simultaneously created the space for a harmonic improvisation that employed counterpoint and intervallic architecture for the rhythm section. Parlan's own soloing is nothing less than soulful, but it is considerably more than soul he's playing. Moreover, Parlan is laying down the sophistication evidenced in the post-bop and modal playing of both Bill Evans and Horace Silver"
