Review by Scott Yanow
In the 1960s altoist Johnny Hodges took a brief time off from Duke Ellington's orchestra to record eight albums with organist Wild Bill Davis. For this, their third collaboration, the duo welcome guitarist Kenny Burrell, trumpeter Joe Wilder and either Osie Johnson or Ed Shaughnessy on drums. Hodges plays typically beautifully on such numbers as "I Cried for You," "Lost in Meditation" and "Stolen Sweets" and, although no real surprises occur (and the playing time at around a half-hour is quite brief), the performances are up to par.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
En la década de 1960, Johnny Hodges se tomó un breve descanso de la orquesta de Duke Ellington para grabar ocho álbumes con el organista Wild Bill Davis. Para esta tercera colaboración, el dúo da la bienvenida al guitarrista Kenny Burrell, al trompetista Joe Wilder y a Osie Johnson o Ed Shaughnessy a la batería. Hodges toca maravillosamente en números como "I Cried for You", "Lost in Meditation" y "Stolen Sweets" y, aunque no se producen sorpresas reales (y el tiempo de juego de alrededor de media hora es bastante breve), las actuaciones están a la altura.
