<p>Duke Ellington was an influential American jazz pianist, bandleader, and composer. He is known for his residency at the Cotton Club from 1927 to 1931 and for composing over a thousand pieces, many of which have become standards in the genre. He frequently collaborated with Billy Strayhorn. Duke Ellington's son, Mercer Ellington, took over leadership of his father's orchestra until his own death in 1996. He is also the grandfather of Edward Ellington.</p>

The complete Duke Ellington/Johnny Hodges small group albums 'Back to Back' and 'Side by Side' on two CDs. Includes a 12-page comprehensive booklet. 'Back to Back' is fully dedicated to the blues and 'Side by Side' is a continuation of that form and made up of additional tunes from the same session as 'Back to Back'. Added to this is another small group session featuring Hodges with Roy Eldridge, Ben Webster, Lawrence Brown and Billy Strayhorn. As a bonus, there are nine tracks from other Ellington's sessions recorded during the same period, all of which prominently feature Johnny Hodges and the blues.
