Review

This CD combines together the music from two complete LPs (I Only Have Eyes for You and Trackin') that were recorded the same day with the identical personnel. Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis's tough tenor is well-featured with his regular group of the time, a combo consisting of the powerful organist Don Patterson (who dominates many of the ensembles), guitarist Paul Weeden (talented but quite obscure), drummer Billy James, and guest bassist George Duvivier. The emphasis is on standards and intense blowing (even on the ballads) with the set being a good example of a strong tenor organ band. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
