About this album

Vol. 2 Opus Funk is a hard-swinging late partnership between trumpet master Harry Edison and tenor saxophonist Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis. Issued in 1982, the album finds two veteran stylists trading relaxed blues feeling, sharp phrasing and easygoing fire in a classic small-group jazz setting. Edison’s clipped, economical trumpet and Davis’s muscular tenor make a strong contrast, giving the session both warmth and bite. With standards and jazz chestnuts alongside the title piece, the record shows how seasoned players could turn familiar material into lively, conversational modern swing.
