Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
After 23 years as Duke Ellington's principal soloist Johnny Hodges decided to branch out on his own as a band leader. Less than five years later he was back in the Ellington fold. This album comes from his last year as leader in his own right. Hodges may have left Ellington but the maestro's music was never far away from his thinking. For this album he asked two of his Ellington colleagues--Jimmy Hamilton and Harry Carney--to sit in with his seven-piece band. In addition three other sidemen had been Ellingtonians, trumpeter Shorty Baker, trombonist Lawrence brown and drummer Louie Bellson. So this is in effect an Ellington splinter group in all but name and when Hodges eases into "Warm Valley" the picture is complete. There are some compelling bluesy small band jump pieces and a cover version of "Skokiaan", a hit of the day. But the central work is an 18-minute ballad medley featuring the leader (he plays "Sweet Lorraine" and "All Of Me"), Carney, Hamilton, Baker and pianist Richie Powell. Hodges's tenor saxist at the time was John Coltrane, but his playing is confined to some background work. The tenor solos are played by Jimmy Hamilton. --Steve Voce
