Billy Strayhorn & Johnny Hodges • Stanley Dance Session



Some rare non-Ellington material from Billy Strayhorn and Johnny Hodges -- both sessions recorded as part of a series done by producer Stanley Dance at the end of the 50s! The feel here is a almost a bit more open and less restrained than the usual Ellington groove -- with some standout longer tracks, plus a number of more familiar numbers crafted in that rich Strayhorn love of colors and tones -- all topped with beautiful solo work by Johnny Hodges.
