American jazz saxophonist Johnny Hodges, a featured soloist in Duke Ellington's orchestra, was among the most influential sax players in the history of jazz.
Johnny Hodges was born July 25, 1906 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He took up the soprano saxophone at 14. He worked in Boston and New York during the mid-1920s, playing in bands led by Lloyd Scott, Chick Webb, Bobby Sawyer, Luckey Roberts, and Bechet. He joined Duke Ellington's orchestra in 1928 and was the band's most-featured soloist for the next four decades. In 1951 he formed his own combo.

Many thanks mat tiggis for this Johnny Hodges. Can not find any information on this recording. Is this from Duke Ellington's Side To Side?
