DUKE ELLINGTON * JOHNNY HODGES * Side by Side *  

?Die großartigste, swingendste Rhythmusgruppe aller Zeiten! Tolle Bläser! Dieser Ton des Altsaxophons zwischen Wehmut und Aggressivität, wie ihn nur Einer blasen kann! So könnten einige der Superlative lauten, wenn diese, Ende der fünfziger Jahre aufgenommenen, neun Titel ins Ohr gehen.
Das Konzept, die Ellington-Band für Jamsession-artige Titel zu verkleinern und damit noch mehr Platz für Soli zu bieten, geht voll auf. Es sind ja auch Koryphäen erster Ordnung, diese Bläser. Ob Roy Eldridge, der vom Swing bis Be-Bop den Übergang zum modernen Trompetenstil prägte, ob Harry Edison, der seinen leichten, luftigen Basie-Swing nicht verleugnen kann, oder Ben Webster, der beide Swing-Pole in sich vereint: Den Count und den Duke. Und dann ist da noch Johnny Hodges – genannt: the 'Rabbit' –, dessen natürliches Rhythmusgefühl und weicher Ton in diesem Konzept bestens zum Ausdruck kommen.
"Squeeze Me" und "Stompy Jones" sind Titel aus dem Repertoire der 40iger Jahre, oft gespielt und meisterhaft neu gestaltet bei dieser Session. Der Standard "Let’s Fall In Love" führt vor, welch eigenständigen Ton Lawrence Brown auf der Posaune gefunden hat und stellt anschließend Roy Eldridge und Johnny Hodges ins Rampenlicht, wobei beide im Zenit stehend ihr Können beweisen. "Ruint" und "Going Up" sind Features für Johnny Hodges und bei "Just A Memory" steht der sanfte, manchmal etwas sentimentale Ton von Ben Webster im Mittelpunkt.
Ebenfalls herausragend ist die Aufnahmequalität dieser Einspielungen, die Neuauflage pünktlich zum 50. Geburtstag der beiden Sessions bietet eine willkommene Gelegenheit, auch den Verve-Toningenieuren ihren Tribut zu zollen.

?The most awesome, the most swinging rhythm group of all times! Fantastic winds! There’s only one guy who can make an alto saxophone sound like this – somewhere between melancholy and aggressiveness! Superlative after superlative come to mind when you listen to these nine numbers, which were recorded at the end of the Fifties.
The idea of scaling down Ellington’s band for jam-session-like numbers is absolutely genial because it offers soloists great opportunities to display their artistry. And these wind musicians are the best of the best, masters of their instruments. We have Roy Eldridge, who influenced the transition from swing to be-bop and a modern style of trumpet playing; Harry Edison, whose light and airy Basie-swing style cannot be denied; and Ben Webster, who amalgamates both the Count’s and the Duke’s style of swing. And then there is Johnny 'The Rabbit' Hodges, whose natural feeling for rhythm and gentle tone is brought to optimal expression within this concept.
"Squeeze Me" and "Stompy Jones" both stem from the Forties and are often performed, but in this session they have been rejuvenated in a masterly fashion. The standard "Let’s Fall In Love" demonstrates Lawrence Brown’s highly personal sound on the trombone and then goes on to spotlight Roy Eldridge and Johnny Hodges, both of whom prove that they are at the very zenith of their artistic prowess. "Ruint" and "Going Up" provide a showcase for Johnny Hodges, while "Just A Memory" focuses on the gentle, sometimes rather sentimental sound of Ben Webster.
Just as exceptional is the recording quality of this LP. Timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the two sessions, the reissue offers a excellent opportunity to pay homage to the Verve recording engineers.

Johnny Hodges (as); Ben Webster (ts); Harry Edison, Roy Eldridge (tp); Lawrence Brown (tb); Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn (p); Al Hall, Wendell Marshall (b); Leslie Spann (g, fl); Jo Jones (dr)
