  • This music is really the supreme cultural genius of America. And it sad that more isn't done to share it. I love the saxophone and Johnny Hodges is my main sax man. He had the unique ability that's rarely seen today to elevate a ballad to heights of unspeakable beauty while at he same time injecting a blues sound well ground by earthly emotions.. I love the sound of Johnny Hodges; long may it live.

  • The PERFECT sax sound.

  • EL JAZZ ; LA MUSICA DE  LOS MUSICOS .

  • Johnny Hodges! the saxophone man who made me fall in love with alto sax.

  • @Alvin276 vraiment sublime on ne s'en lasse pas

  • OooooooWeeeeeeEEe.... Extra..,Extra! Man brings enough for everyone!!! Thank You for Putting this one out there!!

  • @saavedra342: I'll try to remember point "a" next time I hear someone sing "Amercia The Beautiful." I think Alvin meant the United States in his use of America. We tend to employ a rather "Wittgenstein-ian" approach to English in this country. At any rate, although I like the Tango (particularly as it has been interpolated into traditional New Orleans music), but I think I will put on another Hodges record...

  • Wow, this is absolutely fantastic. Thanks for posting!

  • Alvin276: No estoy aquí por curiosidad. De hecho mi segundo gusto en la música es el jazz.. 1° el Tango, no se si te "suena"? Pero tengo que decirte algo,fuera de todo patrioterismo, a) América es toda, Norte;Central y Sur. 2) En cuanto al genio supremo, debo decirte que el Tango ha sido decretado por la Unesco: PATRIMONIO CULTURAL INTANGIBLE DE LA H U M A N I D A D., situación que no me he enterado se haya dado con el Jazz, no obstante mi amor por él.

  • Wow, that sounds terrific! That Big Band sound definitely had a lot going for it. A wonderful blast from the past - couldn't sound any better if it had to!! Great post.

  • @Alvin276 I agree 100%. Well-stated.

  • AMAZING
