The music here defies fad and fashion. Johnny Hodges and hisalto sax speak with trademark elegance and eloquencepart and parcel of havingbeen with the Duke Ellington Orchestra in its most celebrated days.

The sides included come from three of Hodges classic albums:Ellingtonia 56, Dukes in Bed and The Big Sound, and the formations range fromlarge combo units to the full-fledged Ellington band (without Duke). Rich,rocking, blue-boned relaxation is the mood, and this set of Hodges-guidednumbers is full of his inimitable swing and ever present touches of warmth andhumour.
