Review by Reggie Rodrigue

Johnny Hodges was one of the most influential jazz saxophonists of the 20th century, and his album "Jeeps Blues: His Greatest Recordings 1928-1941" is a testament to his virtuosity and artistry. This collection of tracks showcases Hodges' signature sound, which was characterized by his smooth, soulful playing and his impeccable sense of swing.

The album features some of Hodges' most iconic recordings, including "Jeep's Blues," "Things Ain't What They Used to Be," and "I Got It Bad (and That Ain't Good)." Each track is a masterpiece in its own right, with Hodges' soaring saxophone lines weaving in and out of the rich, complex arrangements.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Take the 'A' Train," which was written by Billy Strayhorn specifically for Hodges and the Duke Ellington Orchestra. Hodges' performance on this track is nothing short of breathtaking, with his fluid, melodic playing perfectly complementing the intricate harmonies and rhythms of the arrangement.
