The two of them enjoyed an incredibly strong rapport in the late '50s and early '60s, and they are very much in sync on Bacalao (which unites them with bassist George Duvivier, drummer Arthur Edgehill, and two Latin percussion men: Luis Perez and salsa giant Ray Barretto). Recorded in Rudy Van Gelder's New Jersey studio in 1959, Bacalao is among the many solid hard bop/soul-jazz albums that resulted from Davis' association with Scott. One of the big-toned tenor men she worked with extensively was Stanley Turrentine, whom she married another was Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis. When it came to tenor saxophonists, the late organist Shirley Scott had excellent taste.
