Johnny Hodges - Rippin' & Runnin' (Verve). The master with a hip young (1968) rhythm section - Willie Gardner (organ), Jimmy Ponder, Ron Carter, and Freddie Waits. Really nice. Anybody know anything about Gardner?

Billy Gardner?

Recorded on all 3 of George Braith's Blue Note albums. I believe there's been some discussion of him on the board which 'search' under 'Billy Gardner' should throw up.

The sleeve definitely says "Willie," but I'll bet it's the same guy. His playing is too good to be someone who just made this one album. I'm at work right now, but I remember that the liner notes said that Willie Gardner played some with Lou Donaldson, so it's probably Billy.

Definitely Billy Gardner. The personnel listing has Willie Gardner, but Leonard Feather's liner notes refer to him as Willie (Billy) Gardner.
