I love Ellington's music and the way he was able to showcase his musicians to the very best effect. Johnny Hodges had the sweetest sound ever on alto - set against the straining Ellington brass just trying to get out Hodges always played with them - almost teasing them with his beautiful sound. The only problem with this is Duke's awful rug. The Jeep meets the Wherewolf.....

A lot of this is because that's how long vinyls could record. That was the capacity of recording back then. It wasn't intentional. Some of the New Orleans stuff lasted over 15 minutes when it was performed live, they just shorten it when recording it "bare bones."

who's the white dude on teh trombone?

Oh god, I wish I could have played like that.

@antoniodcz It's never to late to start playing the sax m8 XD

wow, no sheet music, nobody

The reason that the songs were only 3 minutes or less is because there was a time limitation of 3 minutes on the records they were using. I'm sure if they could have recorded longer songs they would have.

I'm a pianist but when I hear Johnny Hodges, I wish I played saxophone, what a beautiful sound. thanks for posting

Someone please tell me: "How cool can a sax get!" Duke was and remains in a world of his own. Distinctly separate and a part. Isn't it amazing how Ellington, Armstrong, and many others could say all that needed to be said in a song in 3 minutes or less? Just about all the old classics were done in this way. Artist today often taken 6 or 7 minutes to say half as much. I like R&B and Pop but with jazz, I'm always discovering something new, even on a 60 yr old record I've heard over 100 times.

Johnny Hodges = Love <333
This is so lame, but because Hodges is my favorite alto player of all time, I named my alto "Johnny" lmao :P
