| Description: | While he was usually featured in
front of his unforgettable orchestra,
these unique small-group sessions
showcase the great Duke Ellington
as a pianist in a blues context in the
company of his longtime collaborator,
alto saxophonist Johnny Hodges.
According to AllMusic writer Eugene
Chadbourne, ??Hodges does some of
the most soulful playing of his career
here?. Also setting a very high standard
for himself is trumpeter Harry ??Sweets?
Edison. This dream sextet is completed
by Les Spann on guitar, Sam Jones on
bass, and Jo Jones on drums.
