Description
This outstanding release was recorded for Verve in 1957 plus 4 bonus tracks from a 1958 session.
Herb Ellis is yet another unsung jazz guitarist. His sides with Oscar Peterson's legendary group added nuance and a subtle shade of soul to already perfect performances. Ellis considers this is his favorite personal album and it is easy to see why. With trumpeter Roy Eldridge and tenor saxophonist Stan Getz contributing contrasting but equally rewarding solos and lots of inspired riffing while bassist Ray Brown and drummer Stan Levey join Ellis in the pianoless rhythm section, these performances have plenty of color and drive. Ellis does indeed stick to the blues during the original eight selections yet there is also a surprising amount of variety. This CD reissue has been augmented by four numbers from 1958 originally recorded for a French movie soundtrack, and feature power pairings of Dizzy Gillespie and Roy Eldridge on trumpet, Coleman Hawkins and Stan Getz on tenor sax and a dynamite rhythm section comprised of Oscar Peterson on piano, Ellis on guitar, Ray Brown on bass and Gus Johnson on drums. This album should be in every jazz collection. A selection of great blues standards and originals. Herb Ellis with Stan Getz & Roy Eldridge Nothing But The Blues 1958 Expanded Edition 1994 feat.
