Johnny Hodges (1906-70) known for his pure tone and personalised style had been the stalwart of Ellington Orchestra throughout its history except for a period in the '50s.

Hodges left immeasurable inspiration to the generations to come.

He led this Ducal All-star septet to give concerts in Europe during the spring of 1961.
