"ONE OF THE GIANTS OF THE ALTO SAXOPHONE, JOHNNY 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 FORAYS DURING HIS LONG CAREER-ONE OF HIS '50'S OUTFITS INCLUDED A YOUNG JOHN COLTRANE-BUT HISTORY REMEMBERS HODGES FOR HIS VIRTUOSIC SIDEMANSHIP, PARTICULARLY HIS SENSITIVE RENDERING OF BALLADS."
JOHNNY HODGES-ALTO SAXOPHONE, BEN WEBSTER-TENOR SAXOPHONE, ROY ELDRIDGE, TRUMPET, VIC DICKENSON- TROMBONE, BILLY STRAYHORN-PIANO, JIMMY WOODS-BASS AND SAN WOODYARD-DRUMS
"I ALSOLUTELY LOVE THIS ALBUM. THE MASTERING AND VINYL PRESSINGS IS TOP NOTCH. A REAL PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO. ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS HITS IT OUT OF THE PARK MORE TIMES THAN NOT."
"BEAUTIFUL SOUNDING RECORD, DEAD QUIET AND FANTASTIC DYNAMICS. ANOTHER HOME RUN FORM THE ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS/VERVE REISSUES SERIES."
"I LOVE THIS RECORD. THIS EDITION OF THE ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS 'VERVE REISSUES' IS EXCEPTIONAL. I HAVE THE FIRST US PRESSING OF THIS ALBUM BUT THIS VERSION IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL. THE EXTENSION OF THE FREQUENCIES AND TRANSPARENCIES ARE TRULY REMARKABLE, THE LOWER PART IS FULL AND THE LOCATION IN THE SPACE OF THE INSTRUMENTS IS TRULY CREDIBLE, SUPER RECOMMENDED. LAST BUT NOT LEAST THE RECORD IS EXTREMELY QUIET, A GREAT HI-FI EXPERIENCE!"
