Trackin' is an album by saxophonist Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis recorded in 1962 for the Prestige label.^[1]

Reception

Critic Don Nelsen wrote in his Down Beat review in the December 19, 1963 issue: "This is a blue-chip performance from Davis & Co. As usual the tenorist swings with big sound and unabashed attack, but rarely has he been so inventive with his horn as he is here."

The Allmusic review states simply "A five piece with Don Patterson on the Hammond B-3 and Paul Weeden on guitar".^[2]
