Description
Back to Back, like its compendium Side By Side, has The Duke teamed up with Johnny Hodges and an all-star lineup to play the blues – jazz-style. On tunes like “Wabash Blues,” “Basin Street Blues,” “St. Louis Blues” and “Weary Blues” among others it is thrilling to hear Harry “Sweets” Edison playing trumpet, Sam Jones on bass and “Philly” Joe Jones on drums.
Recorded directly to two-track and transferred from the original master by Bernie Grundman, this title has long been out of print.
