"Blues-A-Plenty" is a classic jazz album by the legendary alto saxophonist Johnny Hodges, released in 1958. This album showcases Hodges' masterful tone and lyrical phrasing, cementing his status as one of the premier voices of the saxophone in the jazz canon. The record features a collection of tracks that blend bluesy inflections with sophisticated harmonies, including the smooth and iconic "Satin Doll," which is a testament to Hodges' long-time collaboration with Duke Ellington. The poignant "Gone With The Wind" and the emotive "Don't Take Your Love From Me" highlight Hodges' ability to convey deep emotion through his instrument. "I Didn't Know About You" provides a reflective mood, while "Cool Your Motor" and "Honey Hill" offer more upbeat tempos and playful exchanges. The title track, "Blues-A-Plenty," delivers exactly what it promises: an abundance of soulful blues, while "Central Park Swing" captures the essence of New York's vibrant jazz scene.
