Although it is billed as a Duke Ellington and Johnny Hodges album, Side by Side is a 1959 album mostly under the leadership of Johnny Hodges, Duke Ellington's alto saxophonist for many years. Ellington only appears on three of this album's tracks. The album places Hodges at the fore, backing him with piano by Ellington or Billy Strayhorn and providing other accompaniment by well-known jazz figures like Ben Webster, Roy Eldridge, Harry "Sweets" Edison and Jo Jones. The album, a follow-up to the popular Back to Back: Duke Ellington and Johnny Hodges Play the Blues, has remained perpetually in print.

Track Listing:
1. "Stompy Jones" (Duke Ellington)
2. "Just Squeeze Me" (Fats Waller, Clarence Williams)
3. "Big Shoe" (Jimmy Hamilton)
4. "Going Up" (D. Ellington)
5. "Just a Memory" (Lew Brown, Buddy DeSylva, Ray Henderson)
6. "Let's Fall in Love" (Harold Arlen, Ted Koehler)
7. "Ruint" (Mercer Ellington, Johnny Hodges)
8. "Bend One" (Hodges)
9. "You Need to Rock" (Hodges)
