Please add source

Am slightly confused by the reference to the following:

His playing influenced Harry Gibson profoundly.

Harry Gibson was a pianist and while it is possible that one musician can influence another, I would like to know what relationship the two might have had. Thanx. Technopat 23:36, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence in question remained unsourced over three years after someone mentioned it on the talk page. I have removed the sentence. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 23:17, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This recording title makes very little sense

"Davis may be heard playing on the 1973 CBS album Ella Fitzgerald at the Newport Jazz Festival Live at Carnegie Hall on the song "Young Man with a Horn"."

At the Newport Jazz Festival cannot be the same thing as at Carnegie Hall. These are in different states. Is the title a bit mixed up? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.247.4.233 (talk) 01:11, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that's what they called the album – Newport Jazz Festival: Live at Carnegie Hall. For several years the "Newport" Jazz Festival took place at various locations in the New York City area. DutchmanInDisguise (talk) 04:04, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Eddie Davis (saxophonist) → Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis — This person is more widely known by his stage name. Jafeluv (talk) 18:40, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agree--Technopat (talk) 18:42, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Totally agree. I've created a few of his album articles, and listened to a lot of his music, and nobody I know calls him Eddie Davis. Move! Gareth E Kegg (talk) 20:35, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Agree; move article. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 21:45, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Clearly correct, and I can't imagine an objection given the preponderance of evidence. So I'm moving it.--Mike Selinker (talk) 20:07, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Anybody know how exackly how he got the moniker 'LockJaw'? I can't remember where I heard the the anecdote, but the way I got it he was doing a solo, got hung up on one particular note and got percussive with it, even walking outside the club onto the street honking away. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.221.73.61 (talk) 19:55, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
