How Johnny Hodges imagined Take The A Train without Ellington

Here is a super fun swing version of Ellington s Take The A Train by Duke s main alto soloist Johnny Hodges himself He wrote a different melody over the Asection and his solo is like only Hodges would manage to pull it of. Such a delightful version, a great notsobebopish approach to improvisation for you to consider over a classic song.
