Bacalao is an album by American saxophonist Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis and organist Shirley Scott recorded in 1959 for the Prestige label.

The Allmusic site awarded the album 4 stars, stating: “Organ combo soul-jazz was still new and fresh in 1959, and Scott was helping Davis find new ways to interpret very familiar melodies. Although not quite essential, Bacalao is a rewarding example of Davis’ ability to thrive in an organ/tenor setting.”
