Rating Review

Customer Rating It should come as no surprise that you could compile a first-class CD of Johnny Hodges’ work outside of Duke’s band (well, two tracks from 1943 and ‘49 have Hodges as the main soloist with the Ellington band). However, this one is not only first-class, it is overwhelmingly beautiful, no more, no less. Four tracks (approximately 1954) have him very much on-form with an anonymously-sounding Ohio trio, and six others (1961 and ’64) with small cohorts of Ellingtonians in a well-known repertoire, while a seven-minute version of Mellotone from 1954 is also interesting by featuring a down-to-earth John Coltrane solo, more than a year before he joined Miles Davis. The cd’s ‘piece de resistance’, however, are the six 1960-titles that reunite Hodges with Ben Webster. The two horns go beautifully together in some catchy Hodges-tunes, kicked along by Gus Johnson in a frisky mood. Actually, this session was also released on a long deleted Johnny Hodges Mosaic set, which had the songs titled correctly. Alto playing doesn’t come more beautiful than this.
