aka "Al Grey - Wild Bill Davis - Keybone 1972"

Trombonist Al Grey's first session as a leader in seven years, this European date was last available domestically as a Classic Jazz LP. Grey matches wits and swing with altoist/singer Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, organist Wild Bill Davis, Floyd Smith (a pioneering electric guitarist who worked with Andy Kirk), and drummer Chris Columbus. The repertoire is comprised exclusively of basic originals by Grey, Davis and Vinson, including "Person to Person," and finds the trombonist in prime form. ~ Scott Yanow, AMG.
