    About this album

    Blue Rabbit is a richly melodic meeting between Johnny Hodges and Wild Bill Davis, pairing Hodges’ famously velvety alto saxophone with Davis’ graceful organ work. Issued in 1964, the album finds two seasoned bandleaders in relaxed, conversational form, drawing on blues, ballads and standards to create a warm, flowing set. Hodges brought decades of authority from Duke Ellington’s world, while Davis added a rounded, church-tinged harmony that gives the music extra glow. The result is polished but unforced, and one of the more distinctive jazz pairings of the era, balancing swing-era finesse with the emerging soul-jazz sensibility.
