Jumpin' Jackie - The Exciting Hi-Fi Sound Of Jackie Davis And His Swinging Hammond!

Ever since he first sat down at a Hammond, Jackie Davis has been involved in unending experimentation with the electric organ. He works constantly to discover and unfold new panoramas for his instrument. Through this daring approach, he imparts bold, distinctive, and unique fIavors to his music.
And when Jackie Davis and his electric organ start jumping, everybody jumps! Here, the young master of the Hammond makes an exciting departure from his earlier Capitol albums. While "Jumpin' Jackie" still has the same solid listening appeal, it has the added fillip of a strong beat and bright up-tempo delivery. In view of the complex and sprightly syncopated rhythms, hi-fi enthusiasts will appreciate the unusual clarity of tone captured in this recording.
Jackie has a keyboard technique that defies convention, a technique that began to develop when he started playing the piano professionally at the age of nine. During his days at Florida A. & M., where he received a B.A. degree in Music in 1943, his style was further nurtured. And it was polished to a high gloss after his discharge from the Army, when he began touring the country as accompanist for such vocal luminaries as Sarah Vaughan, Nat Cole, Ella Fitzgerald and Dinah Washington.
The happy union of Jackie Davis and the Hammond is comparatively recent. Inspired by the almost limitless sound-potential of the electric organ, Jackie bought his first Hammond in 1951. It was only shortly thereafter that he played his first professional engagement as an organist - a 20-week date at Philadelphia's Club HarIem. And he's been a top attraction on the nightclub and theater circuit ever since. Jackie's success is based on two strong factors: unbridled enthusiasm and amazing versatility in extracting sounds never heard before from the electronic "King of Musical Instruments".
Accenting Jackie's jumping Hammond in this album is the skillful rhythm work of Milt Holland on drums and Irying Ashby on guitar.
