No one would believe how great thiscombination is. Johnny has a "PoPs"accompaniment that makes his talentshine. This C/D is a sensationalsurprise...

I was Astounded
21 April 2004
Format:Audio CD
Having grown up during the Lawrence Welk years and with his music considered a bad joke in the jazz world (Stan Kenton stated that he made Guy Lombardo sound progressive), I was astounded to find that he left his "rickity, tick, tick" beat behind while recording with Johnny Hodges. The resulting album is good music by anyone's standard. Of course my uncle who thought Lawrence Welk was a "great" musician, would not have thought much of this album. That's his loss.

What's next? Lawrence Welk and Ornette Coleman?
15 Aug 2011
Format:Audio CD
No, this is no joke (though the Stan Freeberg parody breaks me up to this day). But only non-musicians would dare put down the musicianship of the Lawrence Welk Orchestra (I didn't say "music"). The arrangements are at times less than "fresh," but the Rabbit is the feature, not Lawrence, and Jeep makes the most of his turns. It would have been nice to have heard him do a few more of Duke's tunes, but tunes like Gershwin's "Someone to Watch Over Me" allow him to show off that singularly smooth, velvety sound (no one could make a saxophone sound like a violin like Hodges, his portamentos all but erasing distinctions between individual notes).
This one should please Hodges' fans and not disappoint Lawrence's regulars in the least. In fact, if Lawrence had had the good sense to go with Duke's bass player--Jimmy Woode or Jeff Castleman or Joe Benjamin--the album might merit a high 5.
As for the bass player employed on the date (or whatever it is that produces quasi-musical sounds vaguely suggestive of a double-bass), the less said (or heard) the better.
