Gerry Mulligan Meets Johnny Hodges album for sale Product Description

Gerry Mulligan Meets Johnny Hodges album for sale by Johnny Hodges / Gerry Mulligan was released Jun 24, 2003 on the Verve label. Gerry Mulligan's 1959 studio date with Johnny Hodges is one of the most satisfying sessions of his various meetings with different saxophonists for Verve, yet it was inexplicably the last to be made available on CD. With a hand-picked rhythm section consisting of pianist Claude Williamson, bassist Buddy Clark, and drummer Mel Lewis, and three originals contributed by each of the two leaders, everything gels nicely, though several tracks took more than three takes (in spite of liner note writer Nat Hentoff's assertions) to reach their final form. Gerry Mulligan Meets Johnny Hodges CD music contains a single disc with 6 songs. ...See Full Description

When I bought it, I had it for weeks playing and playing and playing... I simply didn't need to listen anything else.

died and went to heaven
They were feeding from each other all through the set. Such sensitivity for each other, nobody trying to win "the competition", but co-operating magnificently in their instruments, giving enough room for each other and still swinging like mad.
By Pekka K (Finland)
