Johnny Hodges was perhaps the most important soloist and sideman in Duke Ellington's orchestra for nearly 50 years. The self-taught player made many solo forays during his long career, including this 1958 session showcasing the great alto saxophonist backed by an all-star group including Ben Webster & Billy Strayhorn.
