Johnny Hodges - Blues A-Plenty - Acoustic Sounds Series LP

180g Vinyl LP, Acoustic Sounds Series — Mastered from the Original Analog Tapes

Johnny Hodges' 1958 album Blues-A-Plenty showcases the great alto saxophonist backed by an all-star group featuring Ben Webster, Roy Eldridge, and Vic Dickenson, plus an Ellingtonian rhythm section of Billy Strayhorn, Jimmy Woode, and Sam Woodyard. The most important soloist in Duke Ellington's orchestra for decades, Hodges is remembered above all for his virtuosic sidemanship and his sensitive rendering of ballads. This Verve Acoustic Sounds Series reissue is mastered from the original analog tapes by Bernie Grundman, pressed on 180g vinyl at Quality Record Pressings, and packaged in a Stoughton tip-on gatefold jacket.
