I've paired up these two records, by Art Hodes and the other by Benny Goodman, because their respective covers are in matching yellow. My guess is - these are classic recordings by some all-time greats. They were in my dad's (1913-2008) jazz record collection, of which I am now caretaker. He got to see both Art Hodes and Benny Goodman (and many others) perform live. Wow - click on this post's title for a little gem of Art sitting in with Bud Freeman. And speaking of Bud - one of his records is coming right up in my next post this week. I have this feeling that among all the thousands of vinyl records I own and post about (mainly '60's - '80's rock and roll records) this relatively small sub-set of great and unplayed (by me) jazz records (perhaps 50) is a pretty smokin' collection in it's own right.
