Fat Cat's Jazz CR-120
The emphasis on this ballad-oriented set on the Fat Cat's Jazz label is on cornetist Wild Bill Davison's melodic variations. His highly expressive playing during a quintet outing with pianist John Eaton, rhythm guitarist Steve Jordan, bassist Jack Lesberg and drummer Cliff Leeman is full of emotion, with each note and growl standing out; "My Honey's Lovin' Arms" is about the only stomp. "Duet" is a leftover track from a 1968 album with trombonist Herb Gardner, clarinetist Tommy Gwaltney, bassist Bill Goodall and drummer Jack Connor.
