02042014 - Wild Bill Davis & Charlie Shavers "The Music From Milk & Honey"

I really just stumbled across this album, looking for something else, but started listening and this is pretty cool! We have Wild Bill Davis, an artist I had never heard about, playing the organ like nobody's business and trumpeter Charlie Shavers, blowing that instrument with a whole lotta heart and even more soul. It's relatively basic stuff, and musically not very complex, but the two instrumentalists complement each other in a way where the sum definitely is bigger than the two parts. Shavers comes across as the virtuoso of the two, while Davis is more an efficient lounge jazz musician, but all in all this album should go perfectly well with a dry martini.
