In the 1960s a weekly radio show hosted by Jim Wilke was broadcast live from the Penthouse jazz club in Seattle, Washington. Over 200 performances there were recorded by the radio station KING-FM. In recent years several labels have tapped into this large, rich tape archive. OW! is the second Penthouse release by a new historical label, Reel to Real.
In the culture of hard-bop tenor saxophone, Johnny Griffin and Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis were keepers of the flame. From 1960 to 1962 they teamed up as the “Tough Tenors” and made nine LPs on the Prestige and Jazzland labels. The folklore of the “tenor battle” was in the air, and the debut “Tough Tenors” album was called Battle Stations.
But what Griffin and Davis did together was not a competition. It was collaboration, mutual inspiration and a special art form based on similarity and contrast.~ByThomas Conrad https://jazztimes.com/reviews/albums/johnny-griffin-eddie-lockjaw-davis-quintet-ow-live-at-the-penthouse-reel-to-real/
Featuring: Johnny Griffin & Eddie Lockjaw Davis: tenor saxophones, Horace Parlan piano, Buddy Catlett bass, Art Taylor drums
