Johnny Hodges – With Billy Strayhorn and the Orchestra

Johnny Hodges’ album With Billy Strayhorn and the Orchestra is a 1962 vintage vinyl pressing featuring a blend of jazz, swing, and big band styles. Hodges, known for his long tenure as an alto saxophonist with Duke Ellington’s orchestra, collaborates here with Billy Strayhorn, Ellington’s key composer and arranger. The album includes notable tracks such as “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore” and “Jeep’s Blues,” highlighting the sophisticated interplay between Hodges’ lyrical saxophone and Strayhorn’s orchestral arrangements. This mono pressing captures the warm, rich sound characteristic of early 1960s jazz recordings. The vinyl is graded VG+, indicating minor hairline marks and some wear, but it should play well with only light background noise. This record offers a snapshot of Hodges’ artistry outside the Ellington band, supported by Strayhorn’s distinctive compositional voice.
