Duke Ellington & Johnny Hodges - Side by Side - Verve Acoustic Sounds Series LP

180g Vinyl LP — Verve Acoustic Sounds Series

Recorded in 1958 and 1959, Side by Side is a throwback to the small-group sessions Duke Ellington cut with Johnny Hodges and other orchestra members in the 1930s, with a couple of key differences: Ellington's absence on several cuts (with Billy Strayhorn taking over on piano) and the presence of non-Ellingtonians like drummer Jo Jones and trumpeters Roy Eldridge and Harry "Sweets" Edison. The Verve Acoustic Sounds Series features all-analog transfers and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
