On the Sunny Side of the Street Ellington 1966

Duke Ellington Octet in Italy in 1966.
On the Sunny Side of th Street has been recorded many times and always as a showpiece for alto saxophonist Johnny Hodges. The other members know the back up arrangement so well that no music stands with the music was needed

The Rabbit was great, but there was no-one could touch The Bull - work that one out ;)

There is nothing like that Johnny Hodges sound.

Love the way that Duke highlighted his great musicians. Some so-called business managers of today could learn that lesson from Duke.

Smooth as silk, by far the best Sax player, no one can reproduce his sound.

My favorite since almost 50 years!~

Who would say that he was 60 at the time of this recording... and had only 4 more years to live? I wouldn't...

[Rozier168]

Hodges is by far my favorite sax player
