'Wild Bill' Davis- Dance the Madison
The great Wild Bill Davis was, like Jimmy Smith, who cited him as a primary influence, both an innovator and a popularizer of jazz organ. One of the very first to play the organ as the instrument it is and not like a piano which most practitioners did before him, Davis was the first to establish the classic organ trio format with guitar and drums eventually adding a tenor sax later on occasionally. These classic 1960 recordings feature Bill Jennings (guitar), Grady Tate (drums) and George Clark (tenor sax, flute). All selections newly remastered.
Tracklist:
- The Madison Time (Part 1)
- In A Mellow Tone
- Smooth Sailing
- Flying Home
- Organ Grinder's Swing
- The Madison Time (Part 2)
- Blue Skies
- Soft Winds
- It's All Right With Me
