sal Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 I'll spin some of the Mosaic small group session tonight. I'm not a big fan of pre-bop jazz, but something about Johnny Hodges just does it for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomastreichler Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Johnny Hodges was one of the most distinctive voices in jazz, he had a beautiful tone and was a great improviser especially on blues and ballads. Some of my favourites: Back To Back with Duke Ellington on Verve Side By Side on Verve Stride Right with Earl Hines on Verve Almost anything with Wild Bill Davis Everybody Knows Johnny Hodges on Impulse With Billy Strayhorn And The Orchestra on Verve Complete Verve Small Group Hodges Sessions 1956-1961 on Mosaic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
