    About this album

    Wings & Things is a refined, easy-swinging meeting of Johnny Hodges and Wild Bill Davis that shows both musicians at their most stylish. Issued in 1965, the album brings Hodges’ supple alto saxophone together with Davis’ warm organ in a setting that moves comfortably between blues feeling, relaxed balladry and crisp swing. The interplay gives familiar standards and originals alike a polished, late-night glow, with the title piece, The Nearness Of You and Take The 'A' Train standing out as examples of the duo’s graceful command. It is a fine showcase for Hodges’ lyrical phrasing and Davis’ gospel-rooted touch.
