For 42 years (with a four-year interruption), altoist Johnny Hodges was the top soloist in the Duke Ellington Orchestra. This excellent CD reissue has the eight selections (plus an alternate take) from Hodges's two Bluebird sessions from 1940-41; among the sidemen on such classics as "Day Dream," "Good Queen Bess," "Passion Flower," and "Things Ain't What They Used to Be" are either Cootie Williams or Ray Nance on trumpet, trombonist Lawrence Brown, and Ellington himself. In addition there are 13 selections by the Duke Ellington Orchestra from 1940-46 that feature Hodges including "Don't Get Around Anymore," "In a Mellotone," "Warm Valley," "I Got It Bad," and "Come Sunday." This is classic music that has been intelligently repackaged.
