Recorded in 1965 during a period when Nathan Davis was immersed in Europe's vibrant jazz scene — collaborating with legends like Kenny Clarke, Eric Dolphy, Elvin Jones, and Art Blakey — Happy Girl stands as a remarkable snapshot of hard bop at its finest. On this session, Davis is joined by an exceptional ensemble including trumpeter Woody Shaw, pianist Larry Young, bassist Jimmy Woode, and drummer Billy Brooks.
This Record Store Day 2025 exclusive marks the first time Happy Girl has been made available again since its original release, making it a highly sought-after find for jazz collectors and enthusiasts alike. Pressed on 180g black vinyl and housed in a gatefold sleeve complete with a booklet, this is a beautifully presented reissue of a truly special recording.
