Cultural Facts:
- Scene Ecology Johnny Hodges was one of Duke Ellington’s most important soloists, giving the alto sax a smooth, vocal-like presence that became central to Ellington’s orchestra sound.
- Personal Struggle Hodges died suddenly of a heart attack in 1970 at age 62, ending a career deeply tied to swing-era jazz, big bands, and elegant small-group sessions.
- Studio Lore Don’t Sleep in the Subway shows how veteran swing players were still being framed for 1960s record buyers, mixing jazz craft with contemporary pop-era material.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
