Castle Rock, 1955
Written by Al Sears
Hodges was in Duke Ellington's band before he became a solo artist. This jazz number features dueling saxes — Hodges' alto and Al Sears' tenor — with interplay from trombone and trumpet. It's light and buoyant, a cool, sophisticated swing instrumental, with '50s cool slides and bends from the sax. A toe-tapping, swaying melody with nothing flashy or forced.
