COUNT BASIE

BOMB - The Atomic Mr Basie

featuring: Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAWS
My favorite Lockjaw solo. While admittedly  super cliched, they are Jaw's cliches. I like to tell the story about when I was in college I had a friend, a very good tenor player, that would despair  at my love of this solo. He was a huge Zoot Simms fan. Hard to get much different then Simms and Lockjaw.
