Description: Johnny Hodges - Blues A Plenty (Verve Acoustic Sounds Series) [New Vinyl LP] Artist: Johnny Hodges Title: Blues A Plenty (Verve Acoustic Sounds Series) Format: Vinyl LP Genre: Misc Product UPC: 602465124569 Release Date: 2024 Record Label: Verve Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Johnny Hodges' 1958 album Blues-A-Plenty showcases the great alto saxophonist backed by an all-star group featuring Ben Webster, Roy Eldridge, Vic Dickenson, and an Ellingtonian rhythm section formed by Billy Strayhorn on piano, Jimmy Woode on bass, and Sam Woodyard on drums. Hodges was perhaps the most important soloist and sideman in Duke Ellington's orchestra from 1928 up to Hodges' death in 1970. The self-taught player made many solo forays during his long career - one of his '50s outfits included a young John Coltrane - but history remembers Hodges for his virtuosic sidemanship, particularly his sensitive rendering of ballads.
