Johnny Hodges and his Orchestra - Blues A-Plenty
Hodges, away from the Duke, focusing on a bunch of great blues numbers with great sidemen like Billy Strayhorn, Ben Webster, Jimmy Woode, Roy Eldridge, Vic Dickenson, and Sam Woodyard.
Given a new mastering by Bernie Grundman, and a great pressing by QRP…this is a definite winner.
