～Enter The Hodges Act.1～
McLean Chance（ 紙のジャズ）
1.John Cornelius Hodges(1906.7.25～1970.5.11)
19０6 年、ジョン・Ｈ・ホッジス、ケイティ・スワン・ホッジスの間にマサチューセッツ州ケンブリッジ
生まれ、間もなくボストンのハモンド通りに引っ越す。４歳下のハリー・カーネイ(bs,cl,bcl、1910～74)は近所に住んでいて、幼馴染。
母親がピアニスト。最初は独学でドラムスとピアノを演奏し、個人宅のダンスパーティで一晩８ドルのギャラでピアノを演奏していた。
10 代でソプラノサックスを始め(1946 年以降はアルトに専念)、このころから「Rabbit」と呼ばれるようになる（足が速かったことから）。
シドニー・ベシェ(ss)、ロイド・スコット(drms)、チック・ウェブ(drms)らと共演し、ボストンでしだいに有名となり、1924 年、ニューヨークに引っ越す。1928 年、バーニー・ビガード(cl,ts)の推薦でエリントン・オーケストラに入団(すでにカーネイは加入していた)。
1937 年から、自身のコンボでの録音を始める。1938 年、ベニー・グッドマン(cl)の伝説的なカーネギーホールでのコンサートにクーティ・ウィリアムズ(tp)、ハリー・カーネイともに参加。
1951 年に、オーケストラを脱退し、自身のクループを結成（無名時代のジョン・コルトレインが加入していた）。55 年、再加入。以後も、エリントン・オーケストラを自身のコンボを並行して活動を続ける。
1970 年、ニューヨークの歯科で心臓発作で急死。デューク・エリントン『ニューオリンズ組曲』録音の途中であった。
