As someone who is more of a casual jazz listener, I would much rather listen to Johnny Hodges than someone like Charlie Parker. That's not to take anything away from Parker, but his style of playing is often advanced beyond my ability to appreciate. A lot of it just sounds like fast noise to to my uninitiated ear.

They just don't make em like this any more. Apart from his awesome natural ability, technically and most importantly, musically, there was the lyrical eloquence of the era which gave an unrepeatable sweetness to Johnny's plating. To try and copy this today would not only be a musical fraud but also futile: we are not those kind of people any more so we substitute melody and harmony with dazzling pyrotechnics and hope nobody notices our deficiency. Maybe things will change... and the music will return.

I hope you know Johnny copied this type of "vocabulary," in order to build "vocabulary" for soloing, you need to copy from other players. As a non-musician you wouldn't understand this. Creatively, it might be original, such as the altissimo he played in this song. But, if you study him, he has similar "licks" that he plays when he solos.
