Gerry Mulligan / Johnny Hodges 'Gerry Mulligan Meets Johnny Hodges (Acoustic Sounds)' LP reissue pre-order (release date 26th September)

Gerry Mulligan / Johnny Hodges - 'Gerry Mulligan Meets Johnny Hodges (Acoustic Sounds)’ LP reissue.

Recorded in 1959, ‘Gerry Mulligan Meets Johnny Hodges’ is heralded as one of the best of Mulligan’s recorded pairings with fellow instrumentalists. On this date, the two saxophonists are joined by a solid rhythm section of Claude Williamson (piano), Buddy Clark (bass) and Mel Lewis (drums), splitting the repertoire across three originals each from Mulligan and Hodges. The two complement the other throughout with the exception of Mulligan’s ‘What’s the Rush’, where the baritonist sits out altogether in favour of Hodges’ alto taking the spotlight.

Verve’s Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.

This LP is released on Friday 26th September.
