Johnny Hodges: The Jeep Is Jumpin' (CD: Proper, 4 CDs)
The Johnny Hodges saxophone sound was one of the landmarks of jazz, rich, full and singing, sometimes soft and sensuous and at other times brusque and sinewy, but it was always unmistakably his own. Here is an extensive survey of this master’s oeuvre, leading his small-bands. 94 tracks are included within the 4 CD's and the timescale covers 1937 through to 1952. The 44 page booklet tells the story. (Proper Records)
