This DVD features a classic Herb Ellis performance from 1981, with Dave Maslow on bass. It also includes backstage interviews, biography, discography, and The Herb Ellis Signature 165s.
Ellis, an excellent bop-based guitarist with a slight country twang to his sound, became famous playing with the Oscar Peterson Trio during 1953-1958. Prior to that he had played with the Casa Loma Orchestra, Jimmy Dorsey (1945-1947), and the sadly under-recorded trio Soft Winds.
After leaving Peterson, Ellis has recorded and toured with some of the biggest names in jazz including Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Coleman Hawkins, Roy Eldridge, Della Reese, Steve Allen, Red Skelton, and Danny Kaye and as a member of The Great Guitars with Charlie Byrd and Barney Kessel. He has over 30 solo recordings on the Justice, Concord, Pablo, Verve, and Columbia labels, as well as various group recordings with such illuminaries as the Dukes of Dixieland, Stuff Smith, and Joe Pass.
