Wild Bill Davis: Wild Blues
Imperial X5435. An atmospheric instrumental from the pioneering jazz organist. I would love to know the personnel on this gem. The guitarist, with fair certainty identified (see below in comments) as Wally Richardson, in particular gets in some gritty licks. Only issued on 45 in its day (1957), it was reissued in 1963 on the album Wild, Wild, Wild, Wild Bill Davis. For more postWar bohemia, visit the Lonely Beat, One Hundred Themes from the Naked City:
