Possessor of a cutting and immediately identifiable tough tenor tone, Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis could hold his own in a saxophone battle with anyone. Davis’ earliest recordings as a leader tended to be explosive R&B affairs with plenty of screaming from his horn; he matched wits successfully with Fats Navarro on one session. Davis was with Count Basie’s Orchestra on several occasional (including 1952-1953, 1957, and 1964-1973) and teamed up with Shirley Scott’s trio during 1955-1960. During 1960-1962, he collaborated in some exciting performances and recordings with Johnny Griffin, a fellow tenor who was just as combative as Davis. After temporarily retiring to become a booking agent (1963-1964), Davis rejoined Basie. In his later years, Lockjaw often recorded with Harry “Sweets” Edison and he remained a busy soloist up until his death. ~Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

About the album:
Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis always confounded critics. Because he was an acknowledged star to the soul-jazz idiom, they expected him to create in a somewhat formulaic setting, taking few chances. Jaws always took chances, and he always did things his way. And if that meant showcasing Shirley Scott by having a candelabra on her organ console, so be it. (Shirley may not have liked the idea, but it helped draw attention to her.). After Scott left the band, Davis never really returned to the organ/tenor sound, despite his success with it. Jaws in Orbit also features Steve Pulliam, George Duvivier, and Arthur Edgehill.
