The record

Two Texas-schooled tenors trade choruses over organ and rhythm, Cobb's brawny attack squared off against Lockjaw Davis's cooler slyness on a Prestige date built for heat over subtlety.

"BLOW ARNETT, BLOW" -- Arnett Cobb and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis -- Prestige 7151 Two extroverts of the tenor sax are teamed up to present one wildly swinging session, with a few quieter moments. Rhythm section has Strethen Davis (organ), George Duvivier (bass) and Arthur Edgehill (drums). Three originals supplement the three oldies -- "When I Grow To Old To Dream," "Dutch Kitchen Bounce" and "Go Red, Go." Deck with lots of jazz punch.
