      3 out of 5 stars Getting into championship form........2006-07-12

      I'm a Walter Davis, Jr. fan, but I'm afraid this debut album under his name is a trifle overrated (at least by the All Music Guide). Walter reveals an original compositional mind but none of the brilliance that would characterize later masterpieces like "Backgammon," "Uranus," "Gipsy Folk Tales," "Jodi," and "Scorpio Rising." Few of these slight, very similar lines, despite moments of harmonic and melodic insight, hang together as complete wholes; in fact, Davis has trouble with turnarounds and continuity devices that would insure momentum being sustained to and through the concluding bar of the song. Too often, the song effectively "stops" at the end of the first chorus or the bridge, suggesting a premature closure and the necessity of a new beginning with the next chorus.

      Donald Byrd's playing on this occasion is truly exceptional, providing much of the musical interest for what might otherwise have been an even less than ordinary session. Davis, by comparison to the two horns, sounds surprisingly tentative on much of his solo work. Should it come down to a choice, pick up "Scorpio Rising" ahead of this one. It's Davis' very last recording, made months before his death and demonstrating both his Bud Powell prowess and compositional originality better than this early venture.

      4 out of 5 stars Winning The "Davis Cup".......2000-11-15

      Walter Davis' "Davis Cup" was first available on CD in the mid 90s as part of the Blue Note Connoisseur Series, but it is now out of print domestically. Now the only way to get this classic Blue Note disc is as a pricey Japanese import. This session is from August 1959 and features Jackie McLean on alto sax, Donald Byrd on trumpet, Sam Jones on bass, Art Taylor on drums, and Davis on piano. This same group (less McLean) cut Donald Byrd's "Byrd In Hand" three months earlier, but they are definitely more inspired on this date. The standout tracks are the soulful "'Snake It," "Loodle-Lot," and the rhythmic "Rhumba Nhumba," but unfortunately what stands out the most is the poor sound quality. There is a lot of distortion in this recording that seems on emanate from the drum mics. In any event, it is the reason I can only give "Davis Cup" four stars, even though it is a great set.
