A Few Minutes with Johnny Hodges http://www.jazzvideoguy.tv presents Johnny Hodges, in concert. Possessor of one of the most beautiful tones ever heard in jazz, altoist Johnny Hodges formed his style early on and had little reason to change it through the decades. Although he could stomp with the best swing players and was masterful on the blues, Hodges' luscious playing on ballads has never been topped. He played drums and piano early on before switching to soprano sax when he was 14. Hodges was taught and inspired by Sidney Bechet, although he soon used alto as his main ax; he would regretfully drop soprano altogether after 1940. His early experiences included playing with Lloyd Scott, Chick Webb, Luckey Roberts, and Willie "The Lion" Smith (1924), and he also had the opportunity to work with Bechet. However, Johnny Hodges' real career began in 1928 when he joined Duke Ellington's orchestra. He quickly became one of the most important solo stars in the band and a real pacesetter on alto; Benny Carter was his only close competition in the 1930s. Hodges was featured on a countless number of performances with Ellington and also had many chances to lead recording dates with Ellington's sidemen. Whether it was "Things Ain't What They Used to Be," "Come Sunday," or "Passion Flower," Hodges was an indispensable member of Ellington's orchestra in the 1930s and '40s. It was therefore a shock, in 1951, when he decided to leave Duke Ellington and lead a band of his own. Hodges had a quick hit in "Castle Rock" (which ironically showcased Al Sears' tenor and had no real contribution by the altoist), but his combo ended up struggling and breaking up in 1955. Hodges' return to Duke Ellington was a joyous occasion and he never really left again. In the 1960s, Hodges teamed up with organist Wild Bill Davis on some sessions, leading to Davis joining Ellington for a time in 1969. Johnny Hodges, whose unchanging style always managed to sound fresh, was still with Duke Ellington when he suddenly died in 1970. Jazz Video Guy Johnny Hodges Duke Ellington |

Mosaic Records: Classic Benny Goodman Sessions http://www.mosaicrecords.com presents "Classic Benny Goodman Columbia and Okeh Sessions (1939 - 1958)." Seven discs from a neglected period of Benny's big band career which focuses mainly on his instrumental recordings for Columbia records during the 1940s. Also included are the bands he gathered at the Columbia studios during the 1950s which recreated some of the great Fletcher Henderson arrangements of the 1930s in addition to the lush and creative Benny with strings album titled "Let's Hear The Melody". Of particular importance are the breathtaking arrangements of the far-thinking Eddie Sauter. Over twenty previously unissued alternate takes are much welcome additions as Goodman was a master of solo creativity and spontaneity. He was the King of Swing and everyone wanted to be in his band as proven by the soloists and sidemen who pepper this set. band benny big cootie eddie goodman jazz mel mosaic powell records sauter swing williams |

Chip Stern on Theremin—Moaning Low From the autumn of 2007, as filmed and edited by Crush Boone, a Theremin improvisation by music journalist and musician Chip Stern. Stern, who produced Ginger Bakers first jazz recording, GOING BACK HOME, with Bill Frisell and Charlie Haden for Atlantic in 1994 (and who presently contributes concert and CD reviews to Playbill and high end audio reviews to Positive Feedback On Line), performs on a Moog Etherwave Theremin through an Acoustic Image Coda R combo amp (with a touch of on-board big hall reverberation), and an external Mesa Boogie Roadready 1 X15 Bass Cabinet. A most challenging instrument to put it mildly: I can only hope that someday I will begin to approach the mastery of my Theremin rabbi, piano virtuoso Rob Schwimmer and of the extraordinarily gifted Pamelia Kurstin.
