Two outstanding, complete studio sessions including the 28 year old John Coltrane in an all-star Johnny Hodges band, recorded in Los Angeles in 1954, and featuring many players who had worked in Duke Ellington's band - quite a few of whom had left when Hodges left.

It's really Hodges' session : providing many of the key solos, writing four of the numbers and providing the arrangements. Of course, it's well worth it for those things alone. From a Coltrane point of view it's more of an intriguing period piece. Hodges, after all was, he acknowledged, his first big influence.

There is also a superb line-up of jazz stars on show : Trumpeter Harold "Shorty" Baker, Lawrence Brown on trombone, Jimmy Hamilton, Harry Carney, Louis Bellson, Ritchie Powell, etc. and these Hodges sessions are not currently available on CD.
