Side By Side (Acoustic Sounds Vinyl Series)

In 1951, Norman Granz signed Johnny Hodges to a recording deal, which led Hodges to leave Duke Ellington's orchestra and lead his own small band. Four years later, he returned to Ellington's group but continued recording for Granz under his own name. Recorded in 1958 and 1959, 'Side By Side' harkens back to the small - group sessions Ellington did with Hodges in the 1930s. However, there are key differences: Ellington is absent on several cuts (Billy Strayhorn plays piano), and there are notable non - Ellingtonians like drummer Jo Jones and trumpeters Roy Eldridge and Harry 'Sweets' Edison.
