The Walter Davis project : tribute to a giant of 20th century blues music

"St. Louis pianist Walter Davis was among the most popular and prolific blues artists to record before World War II, but he is too little remembered today ... We can hope that this effort will meet its goal of restoring Davis to his rightful place in his blues pantheonhalf a century after his death, but in any event Rannenberg and his friends have given us an albumthat succeeds quite nicely on its own merits".
