Watching the Duke Ellington Jazz 65 show (kindly encoded by Mr lfbarfe), I was VERY taken with the performance of Isfahan, from the "Far East Suite." I've chopped it out to share on YouTube, partly so I can keep it handy. Hope you enjoy it. Johnny Hodge's playing is extraordinarily beautiful, very warm and emotive. If you like this, then check out Demonoid for the full thing.

"Johnny Hodges!" I love the way Duke announces him

Isfahan, the name of the city which was the capital of Persian Empire. A city full of unique historical monuments in Iran.
-
@YamaKazoo Yes, a city with a great historical background.
-
Every sax player's dream is to sound like Mr. Hodges.

I am so pleased that this video was uploaded and is still available to view. I have listened to it off and on many times over the last few years. To me it is more atmospheric than any of the formal audio recordings of Isfahan by Hodges on various CDs that I own.

I saw some users wrote about Duke holding the music. They have music stands. I bet the producer asked Duke to hold the sheet music, because he wanted him on camera--despite not having a piano part.
