Tiny Grimes with J. C. Higginbotham – Callin’ The Blues
A strong mid-century jazz session pairing guitarist Tiny Grimes with trombonist J. C. Higginbotham, backed by an excellent rhythm section including Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis (tenor sax) and Ray Bryant (piano). Originally recorded in the 1950s and later reissued in the Original Jazz Classics series, this pressing delivers classic blues-inflected small-group swing with grit, drive and plenty of solo space.
Grimes’ guitar tone is warm and direct, while “Lockjaw” Davis adds that unmistakable robust tenor sound. The session balances tight ensemble passages with relaxed, blues-drenched improvisation — ideal for collectors of Prestige-era hard-swinging jazz.
A desirable reissue for collectors of classic small-combo jazz, especially with the strong personnel lineup and Van Gelder recording credit.
