  • Bob, the bass player is Jesper Lungaard, probably one of the best in Europe. Mads Vinding is another great bassist from Copenhagen. What you have is the combination of their names.

  • Thnx - will correct

  • This is a nice Perfomanz Exceptional ..... Wonderful

  • Creates bumps on my arms

  • Incredible... the best sax that i never been heard before

  • Oh, that sound! Spine-tickling beautiful!

  • Lockjaw's tone and technique is fantastic!

  • whenever I review a video or a cd eddie lockjaw davis'm more impressed with the quality of this great jazz musician, a great tenor with a very personal and vibrant interpretation that makes us feel really miss him.

  • Can I say thanks for sharing this vid?

  • If this was in Aug of 85 as someone below wrote than that means he died just a little over a year after this was recorded--in Nov. of 1986 (ironically, the great actor Cary Grant also died that same month and year--sorry, pop culture aficionado here). But knowing this as you watch this video makes it seem all the more poignant, especially the final cadenza, no doubt the final notes that those in attendance heard played by Eddie Lockjaw Davis.

  • Jaws lives...The great thing about sax is everyone has their own language and Eddie Lock invented his own years ago for many young tenor players to study and immulate if they can. He is a treasure to jazz and a legend who's style, tone, and harmonic capabilities will live on forever in the world of jazz music. He had made an indelible mark on music and American music. No tenor man is more immediately recognizable than Jaws. The tenderness never goes out of his playing. May his music live on.
