When Norman Granz signed Johnny Hodges to a recording contract in 1951, it was aprelude to Hodges’ leaving the Duke Ellington orchestra to lead his own smallband. Four years later Hodges was back in the Ellington fold, but he continuedto record for Granz under his own name. Side By Side, recorded in 1958 and 1959,is a throwback to the small-group sessions Ellington recorded with Hodges andother members of his orchestra in the Thirties, but with a couple of importantdifferences: the absence of Ellington himself on several cuts (with BillyStrayhorn taking over on piano), and the presence of such notable non-Ellingtoniansas drummer Jo Jones and trumpeters Roy Eldridge and Harry “Sweets” Edison.
