Off Minor Jazz Series: Celebrating Johnny Hodges and Wild Bill Davis!

Johnny Hodges is considered one of the definitive alto saxophone players of the big band era and one of the identifying voices of Duke Ellington’s orchestra. His friend Wild Bill Davis was a trendsetter on the piano.

The Off Minor Jazz Series highlights the music of legendary jazz composers and players. The series has been curated by drummer Thomas Wendt, who puts together the right musicians for each concert. In addition to Thomas, the band for this concert features Paul Cosentino (alto sax), Jeff Bush (trombone), and Clifford Barnes (organ).
