Side By Side
Johnny Hodges
Released:
Jan 1959
Label:
Verve Records
Ellington and Strayhorn take turns on the piano on a set that illustrates why Johnny Hodges was the Duke's greatest solo star. Ben Webster, Harry "Sweets" Edison, Lawrence Brown and others are obviously having a blast playing with Hodges, whose playing is so tasty you can enjoy it as pure sensation, even though he influenced everything from gritty R&B to cool jazz.
