I didn’t know any of that. The liner notes here are almost completely in Japanese. I love that story. All of these players were really close to Charlie’s heart, especially Duke, and he loved Lawrence Brown, Jimmy Blanton, all of them. I also love how this presents the original acetate recordings, interruptions and all.
That is a favorite because, as I recall Johnny Hodges was drunk er that usual and Duke calls three of his features in a row with great fanfare.
He pulls it off, he was Johnny Hodges but you can hear him sweat.
According to liner notes their next gig was a high school dance somewhere in the Midwest.
