DUKE ELLINGTON / JOHNNY HODGES

SIDE BY SIDE
Description:
This is a throwback to the small group sessions Ellington recorded with Hodges and his orchestra. On several songs Ellington is replaced by Billy Strayhorn on the piano. Topping off a wealth of full band recordings, the various stars of Ellington's great outfit recorded many combo sides under their own names. Packed with solo work and some of the finest examples of early small group swing. These later examples from 1958 1959 feature Hodges backed by both Ellington and Billy Strayhorn on piano and such non Duke luminaries as Ben Webster, Roy Eldridge, Harry "Sweets" Edison, and Jo Jones. Like its companion album, Back to Back, Side by Side has a loose, jam session feel, with all the soloists stretching out. Hodges is in top form throughout, while Edison and Webster man their spots just fine.
