Bury me now. That is the greatest sax solo ever. Can't hear it often enough. Johnny Hodges - oh, if only time travel were available!!!

There has never been a sax player that could replace Johnny Hodges.

[@charlesbarry971]

Johnny Hodges was for many years the voice of Duke Ellington

[@user-gi3uy5qi2d]

The best bender of notes on a sax

[@pauldopy155]

The bassist always gets me at 0:43

[@ssmusic214]

Genius of Saxophone!
He DIDN'T HAVE to play too many notes!

[@satriawanw6120]

[@andrewhsi]

[@kachingwohoo]

[@TheFunkyKingston]

The "Rabbit" at play!

[@ATHIL118]

Just a quick correction; the drummer here is Sam Woodyard.

[@ReminiscinginTempo]

Thanks for your comment, but no... the drummer here is Jimmy Johnson!. You can read the name on the bassdrum

[@ATHIL118]

Oh okay. Thanks :)

チャーリー・パーカーにも尊敬されたホッジス。１９５９年はレスター・ヤングが死んだ年。ホッジスはますます元気、死ぬまで素晴らしい演奏を聞かせてくれた。

@charyuht: I agree 100%. We as a society are being dumbed down. There is so much half baked garbage out there, being foisted on a gullible public; a public that trusts that what is played on the radio MUST be good. Otherwise it wouldn't be on the air!
Keep the faith! Quality will transcend in the end.

[@Ambaryerno]

GOD that guy could wail.
I love Parker, but if there was EVER a saxophonist I wish I could have sounded like, it's Hodges.

[@DoomerDad]

someone tell Dave Koz that this is how it's done

[@blackie8083]

Oh Dave Koz's playing isn't that bad...I'm sure you can play better than him though, lol.
