Duke Ellington & Johnny Hodges - Back to Back - Acoustic Sounds Series LP

180g Vinyl LP — Verve Acoustic Sounds Series

Among the finest of Duke Ellington's small-group sessions, this predominantly blues date is the perfect setting for trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison and altoist Johnny Hodges to open out, with Duke leading a relaxed but forceful rhythm section. Hodges turns in some of the most soulful playing of his career.
