Album Notes: Johnny Hodges & His Orchestra: Johnny Hodges (alto saxophone); John Coltrane (tenor saxophone); Harry Carney (baritone saxophone); Harold "Shorty" Baker (trumpet); Lawrence Brown (trombone); Jimmy Hamilton (clarinet); Richard Powell, Call Cobbs (piano); John Williams (bass); Louis Bellson (drums). Recorded in Los Angeles, California on July 2 and August 5, 1954. Includes liner notes by Cliff Preiss. A superaltive remaster of the innovative American saxophone player's popular mid 50s album; includes "Warm Valley" and "Sweet As Bear Meat." 2003, Japanese import. Johnny Hodges, one of Duke Ellington's best-known right-hand men, took a hiatus from the Duke's orchestra in the mid-1950s. USED TO BE DUKE was recorded during this time, and contains all the smooth alto saxophone magic for which Hodges is known. Flanked by a fine group of musicians and a four-strong horn line-up (including, interestingly, John Coltrane), Hodges plays it relatively straight, treating standards and originals with his characteristic warmth. There's plenty of swing and sweet melodic playing here, and the 2009 reissue, which features bonus tracks, will delight any Hodges fan.

JohnnyBe Good is the second book by Paige Toon (Heat Magazine's reviews editior) , her first being Lucy In The Sky. JohnnyBe Good was released in 2008. I had already read Lucy In The Sky and absolutely loved it , so when I heard Paige Toon had another chick-lit book out , I immediately logged onto play.com and bought it for a reduced price of £3.99 instead of the recommended £6.99.
Being slightly celebrity-obsessed , this book was a useful source to me , providing me with interesting information as to what goes on in the world of celebrity.There were so many...

Advantages: Fantastic story, great characters, update on her previous novel! Disadvantages: The way it ended!
...Sometimes, an author releases a superb debut novel, so much so that I go out of my way to pre-order their next release, because I'm so hopeful it'll be as good as the debut. Paige Toon's debut 'Lucy in the Sky' was one such book, and when I discovered her next release on Amazon, I quickly pre-ordered it for a bargain price. It was delivered on the day of release, and I excitedly set about reading it, looking forward to the book to come.

Advantages: Works your muscles harder whilst feeling quite relaxing and addictive. Disadvantages: Your wobbly bits shake from head to toe and you sound like a robot!
...I have been using this machine for the past two weeks. I had previously used one at my local gym but the wait to get on the machine could be lengthy as it has proved so popular with people of all ages. The one I now have at home seems tobe almost as powerful as the more expensive model in the gym and I can use it when I want.
It has proved useful for getting more from exercises such as sit-ups and press-ups as the constant vibration really makes you use your core, concentrate on staying balanced and seemingly makes your muscles work harder. People I know who have used the machine for a few months believe their muscle tone tobe improving!
I have also found my recovery tobe better after a long run if I use the machine whilst doing stretches.
The reason I suggest using the machine in private is that many of the stretches...
