Product Information

AVID Jazz here presents four classic Johnny Hodges albums including original LP liner notes on a finely re-mastered and low priced double CD.

“The Blues”…………For our second installment featuring classic Johnny Hodges’ albums we kick off with “Rabbit” and his Orchestra where he is joined by such luminaries as Ben Webster, Red Callender, Ray Brown, Lawrence Brown and Leroy Lovett. The Orchestra indeed has blues in mind during these dates from 1952 through 1954! “More of Johnny Hodges and His Orchestra”…………Jumping aboard to help “Rabbit” for more big band favourites are among others Louis Bellson, Shorty Rogers, Jimmy Hamilton and Harry Carney in a formation that in the words of Norman Granz in his original liner notes “comes closer to the Duke’s band…. since I had more members……together at one time on this date……….the great Duke “sound” is there in all its glory”.

“In A Tender Mood”…………Johnny Hodges and His Orchestra in more recording dates from 1952. Joining up to the Orchestra this time we find among others Emmett Berry on trumpet, Al Sears and Flip Phillips on tenor, Jim Marshall on drums and J. C Heard on drums. As the title suggests here we find “Rabbit” in a tender mood, as he remarks in the original album liner notes after being asked what music hits him the most emotionally………”I think I feel my own music the most when it’s pretty and tender”. Asked when he liked to play it he replied…..”When I’m in a tender mood”. Listen for yourself and hear what the great man means! “Johnny Hodges & His Strings Play The Prettiest Gershwin"

We conclude our quartet of classics with an album recorded in Stuttgart in 1958. Here we find Hodges with The Stuttgart Light Orchestra under the baton of Walter Rohrig and arranged by Russell Garcia in a date devoted to the music of George Gershwin. Ellington devotees may notice how Hodges succeeds in bridging the differences between Gershwin and the Duke. The results are some of the freshest and most sensitive treatments the Gershwin melodies have ever enjoyed!

All four albums have been digitally re-mastered for probably the finest sound quality ever!
