Examples

“Hodges became the most striking example of the truism 'once an Ellingtonian, always an Ellingtonian '.”

“These aren't classic records (despite the label tide) and one immediately recognizes that, despite being surrounded by Ellingtonians, albeit a reduced personnel, Johnny played his best work with Duke himself.”

“In addition to his many credited and unbilled appearances as an Ellingtonian, he was a sideman on other musicians' studio sessions (Clark Terry, Johnny Hodges, et al.), as well as recording a handful of albums under his own name.”
