Obwohl die Hammondorgel in Aufnahmen seit den späten 30er Jahren gut dokumentiert wurde, dachte man, es sei ein neues Instrument als Will Bill Davis auftauchte. Der Vater der modernen Orgel Combo, gemeinsam mit dem Gitarristen Floyd Smith und dem Drummer Chris Columbus. Das hat seinen Platz in den Charts gefunden und lädt ein breites Publikum zu einem stürmischen, unwiderstehlichen Swing ein, der wie eine kleine Big Band klingt. Dieses zweite Album (die Fortsetzung von Volume 1 "Organology, April in Paris"), zeigt seine gefühlvollen Okeh/Epic Sessions zwischen 1953 und 1955. Es beschließt die umfassendste Sammlung, die es nie zuvor auf CD gab.

Although the Hammond organ was well documented in recordings since the late 30's, it was thought of as a novely instrument until Will Bill Davis emerged. The father of the modern organ combo, together with guitarist Floyd Smith, and drummer Chris Columbus. Found its place on the charts introducing the wide audience to a warm storm of irresistible swing by sound like a little big band. This Second Volume (the sequel to Volume 1 "Organology, April in Paris"), shows his soulful Okeh/Epic sessions from 1953 to 1955, closing the most comprehensive anthology never seen on CD.
