Исполнитель: Johnny HodgesНазвание альбома: An Introduction to Johnny Hodges: His Best Recordings - 1928-1941 Год выпуска: 1996 Формат файлов: Mp3, 320 Размер архива: 156 Mb Скачать с: rusfolder As Johnny Hodges was one of the top two or three all-time best soloists in the Duke Ellington Orchestra, you expect the bulk of this material to feature Hodges as a sideman with that organization. Ten tracks indeed are with Ellington, and they are potent reminders of why the combination worked so well. Seven are with Hodges as a leader of, ostensibly, Duke's orchestra, with two alongside Lionel Hampton's big band, two more with Teddy Wilson's, and a single cut featuring Cootie Williams & His Rug Cutters. This collection may contain many well-known tunes with Hodges soloing, but it falls short of being his "best" recordings, as a leader or otherwise. It does provide a good overview of Hodges not only as a vibrant soloist but as a team player, and can be recommended on that basis. Michael G. Nastos, AMG
