Andi ChorleyEllingtonia Moods and Blues is an album recorded in 1960 led by Paul Gonsalves.
In a review for AllMusic, Cub Koda called the album "one potent date," and wrote: "This is jazz from the days when albums were recorded in one day, and that was a good thing."
Jack Sohmer, writing for Jazz Times, stated: "Despite its brevity, this is an excellent and little-known session."
Pianist and composer Ethan Iverson commented: "The 'Ellington without Ellington' records are their own universe and I've never heard a bad one. I am keeping Ellingtonia Moods and Blues out and about in order to remember to keep listening to it. Gonsalves and Hodges know something particularly private and wonderful about playing the saxophone."- Wikipedia

Bink Figgins On Allmusic:
If you're putting on a Johnny Hodges record, you likely know what you're hoping to hear; that Johnny Hodges sound; the cry and the wail and the strut.

The Big Sound is an album recorded by American jazz saxophonist Johnny Hodges featuring performances with members of the Duke Ellington Orchestra recorded in 1957 and released on the Verve label.
The AllMusic review by Bob Rusch stated: "While it was not an Ellington record, the band brought its solid qualities in backing and the occasional solo to all the fine Hodges features. This was an integrated unit, not some detached studio band for Hodges to blow over, under, around, and through. It was wonderful Hodges and fine Ellington" - Wikipedia
