In 1951, saxophonist Johnny Hodges signed a contract with Norman Granz and said goodbye to the Duke Ellington Orchestra. He led his own small band and continued to do so when he returned to Ellington four years later
Side by Side from 1959 is similar in structure to the sessions Ellington recorded with Hodges and other orchestra members in the 1930s. The important differences, however, are Ellington's absence in some sections where he left the piano to Billy Strayhorn and the presence of some musicians not from his background, such as drummer Jo Jones and trumpeters Roy Eldridge and Harry "Sweets" Edison. The Side by Side ensemble is completed by Lawrence Brown (trombone), Al Hall (bass), Wendell Marshall (bass), Les Spann (flute / guitar) and Ben Webster (tenor saxophone). As on the album Back to Back, there is loose jamming and all soloists get enough space to show themselves. Excellent, content musicians and a strong, yet relaxed beat make this album an absolute pleasure to listen to
This recording is part of a series of 25 Verve Re-Issues on Analogue Productions. The original analog tapes are re-processed at Sterling Sound in New York by senior mastering engineer George Marino.
