Someone is missing the boat here - "Johnny Hodges" is not even mentioned in the title - With his deservedly golden reputation, I bet if it was, the views would go much higher!

[@georgemarchionda7335]

Hodges is amazing. It's effortless. No more than drinking with a straw. Unbelievable!!🎷😎

The image is not very clear, but I guess Johnny was was playing a Buescher Aristocrat Sax.

Grazzie Mastro Ugaccio per condividere questo gioiello dalla RAI . Eccezionale presentazione dal inmortale Duke e Jhonny Hodges. Grazie

Artists , here is the lesson about understatement .
Painters, musicians, anyone. How much music is leaden with ignorance . not this.

[@princeandrey]

That's right, it's Hodges date!

やっぱりイイねえ。
さすがのジョニー節。
ムードがあって、味がある。
日本人には出せない味。
サッチモもいいけど、
こっちはレスター・ヤング的で、
それをアルトで表現してる職人だ。

Meraviglia🤍

[@derycktrahair8108]

Hodges doesn't look happy with the balance. Out front it works but he can't hear himself. He still played great but I reckon he didn't enjoy it.

[@aghezz]

è Lilian Terry?

[@sakumazone]

あんまりおもしろくないね
