Haven't heard that yet but I get lots of promos from Resonance. Their releases are usually excellent; that Rollins in Holland set is fantastic.

eddie "ouch! lockjaw" davis

jazz is pretty good

FWIW, Lockjaw's Very Saxy is great. Four tenor sax players including Buddy Tate, Coleman Hawkins, Arnett Cobb and Lockjaw himself.

I love that pre-Jimmy Smith churchy style of jazz organ and Scott/Lockjaw collabs are great. You’d probably also like Wild Bill Davis.

"Man you need the Niven Jazz Collection in your LIFE. Dude made tape recordings of his extensive jazz collection WITH GOOD HISTORICAL INFORMATION RECORDED ONTO THE TAPES BY HIMSELF for years in case his kids were interested in knowing what the music their dad had been into was all about. In the process he did an ~incredible~ service to history. Throw a dart, every last one of these is gold. I'm listening to the King Oliver one now, the music is of course tremendous but the jazz history he fills in? Utterly priceless"

Love Elmo Hope, checking this out.

If he had lived longer, he could have made an album called Tickle-Key Elmo. Missed opportunity. Gone too soon.
