Album review: Johnny Hodges Quintet
JOHNNY HODGES QUINTET Buenos Aires Blues ***** Lonehill Jazz LHJ10373 £9.99
Even if you've long since been smitten with the sublime sound of alto saxophonist Johnny Hodges, chances are you may not be familiar with the two albums which make up this magnificent CD.
The first is a 1963 quintet session with the film composer Lalo Schifrin on piano, while the second is the 1962 strings LP, The Eleventh Hour, which was arranged and conducted by Oliver Nelson. Both are terrific but the first is a particular treat.
