Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis and Shirley Scott set an enduring standard for tenor saxophone/organ groups, beginning with this, their first recording together. Davis’ authoritative, hard swinging style came through his seasoning as a key player in the Count Basie band. Scott, an accomplished pianist, took up the organ when she joined Davis in 1955, emerging with her distinctive, driving yet subtle style virtually fully formed. The tracks comprise three strong Davis originals, two standards, including “But Beautiful,” which ranks as a master class in ballad playing, and the album’s centerpiece, the 12-minute plus “In the Kitchen.” This slow blues by Johnny Hodges has room for extended soloing all around in a performance that underlines the skill, passion and artistry that made the Davis and Scott partnership a potent and influential combination.
