This week, we visit Minton's Playhouse in Harlem to check out Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis with Johnny Griffin for a two-tenor workout. We'll spin selections from three LP's The First Set, The Midnight Set, and The Late Show all documenting sets performed by the Davis/Griffin Quintet on January 6, 1961. Then, we'll celebrate the sounds of the clavinet electric piano with Les McCann, Herbie Hancock and Sun Ra. Plenty of new releases and old gems are included as well, here on the Jazz Continuum.
