3 LPs on 2 CDs. Includes a 16-page booklet with recording details, extensive notes and rare photos.
The music here defies fad and fashion. Johnny Hodges and his alto sax speak with trademark elegance and eloquence—part and parcel of having been with the Duke Ellington Orchestra in its most celebrated days.
The sides included come from three of Hodges’ classic albums: “Ellingtonia ’56,” “Duke’s in Bed” and “The Big Sound,” and the formations range from large combo units to the full-fledged Ellington band (without Duke). Rich, rocking, blue-boned relaxation is the mood, and this set of Hodges-guided numbers is full of his inimitable swing and ever present touches of warmth and humor.
