Smokin′ is an album by saxophonist Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis with organist Shirley Scott recorded in 1958 for the Prestige label.

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states: "Together the group swings hard on basic originals, blues and an occasional ballad, showing why this type of accessible band was so popular during the era." - Wikipedia

Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis (2 Mar 1922 – 3 Nov 1986) will tear your heart out and eat while you're still alive. Totally not "not flashy"! One of the best! "Hey Lock!" from his two tenor band w/Johnny Griffin (who takes the second solo after the piano solo by Junior Mance - Larry Gales and Ben Riley are heard on bass and drums, respectively):
