"Johnny Hodges Featuring Ben Webster's album Not So Dukish" is a classic jazz album that showcases the talents of two of the most celebrated saxophonists in the genre. The album features a collection of tracks that are both soulful and melodic, with each musician bringing their unique style to the mix.

The album opens with the title track "Not So Dukish", a smooth and mellow tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The track features Hodges' signature sound, which is both warm and inviting, and Webster's rich, velvety tone.
