Norman Granz' Jazz In Montreux Presents Eddie Lockjaw Davis '77

About This Movie

So, there's this gem from 2005 that showcases Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis at the Montreux Jazz Festival back in '77. You can really feel the atmosphere of the festival through the recording. The energy is palpable, especially when Lockjaw plays his tenor sax with that signature raw power and bluesy phrasing. It’s not just a performance; it’s a moment in jazz history, wrapped in Granz's vision. The pacing has a nice ebb and flow—some tracks burn slowly, letting you soak in the mood, while others take off with a fierce swing. There’s something about the way the band complements Davis that gives it a distinct flavor. You get the sense that everyone on stage is locked in, creating a special vibe. Just a solid piece for anyone who appreciates the depth of jazz.
