About this listen
Saxophonist Walter "Foots" Thomas was never known as a great jazz player (he recorded numerous solos in his early days) but by the 1940's was highly regarded as a composer and arranger. He also was associated with the publisher and entrepreneur Joe Davis, for whom he assembled recording bands. Here are four sessions by these Thomas-led groups including Emmett Berry, Doc Cheatham and Charlie Shavers (trumpet), Eddie Barefield, Budd Johnson and Ernie Caceres on clarinet, Hilton Jefferson and Milt Yaner on alto sax, Johnson, Coleman Hawkins and Teddy McRae on tenor sax, Billy Taylor and Clyde Hart on piano, Milt Hinton and Slam Stewart on bass and Cozy Cole and Specs Powell on drums.
