All of Me - Duke Ellington 1958
What can one say about this performance. One of alto-saxophonist Johnny Hodges masterpieces. As the featured soloist in All of Me Hodges performs another stunning solo. The simple background first and then the trombone trio backing, finishing in an full band ensemble makes this tune one of the all time highs of Hodges career under Ellington’s brilliant arrangements.
From a concert on November 2 1958 played for the lucky Dutch people who witnessed this event in Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw.
