Review

The great Wild Bill Davis was, like Jimmy Smith, who cited him as a primary influence, both an innovator and a popularizer of that specific double keyboard tradition. One of the very first to play the organ as the instrument it is and not like a piano which most practitioners did before him, Davis was the first to establish the classic organ trio format with guitar and drums eventually adding a tenor sax later on occasionally. In the words of one of his peers, organ grinder Bill Doggett "We were all impressed by what Davis was doing. It was a whole new idea. People were shouting and stomping. They never heard anything like it before."This long overdue collection exhibits what a master of dynamics he was with diminuendos that climb downward to a whisper followed by crescendos that swoop up to a scream which will take the top of your head off. He truly was an innovator when it came to utilizing the full potential of the console in an orchestral manner. Fate has not been too kind to him when it comes to reissues of his discography but with this representative collection of his Everest output it may be safe to say Wild Bill Davis Rides Again or in his own words "One More Time!"
