Description
The Hip Walk is considered one of Nathan Davis’ finest albums, recorded in 1965 during his European years and featuring collaborations with jazz greats like Kenny Clarke, Eric Dolphy, and trumpeter Carmell Jones. With a rhythm section from the legendary Kenny Clarke/Francy Boland big band, the album showcases Davis’ versatile talents on flute and soprano saxophone across soulful, swinging tracks. Highlights include the hard-swinging modal piece "That Kaycee Thing," the beautiful "Carmell’s Black Forest Waltz" composed by Jones, and a virtuoso flute performance on Jerome Kern’s "Yesterdays." A must-have for collectors and fans of classic jazz grooves.
