This release includes two outstanding and long unavailable Verve albums reuniting guitarist Herb Ellis with numerous jazz horn greats.
Focused on the interpretation of new and classic blues, "Nothing But the Blues" features Stan Getz and Roy Eldridge, while on "Herb Ellis Meets Jimmy Giuffre", presents a different musical conception, Ellis' guitar is more or less the only solo voice heard, Giuffre plays tenor and baritone sax, and is also the arranger on the whole album.
-Nothing But the Blues
"Guitarist Herb 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."
---Scott Yanow -All Music Guide
-Herb Ellis Meets Jimmy Giuffre
"Herb Ellis Meets Jimmy Giuffre presents an unusual team. It is an album with involved arrangements, as opposed to a jam session format, and the only solo voice heard here is Ellis’ guitar with the exception of the tune "Remember", on which some short solos by the horns are heard. Not even Giuffre solos, as he contented himself with writing all of the arrangements and playing on the elaborate ensemble passages."

Herb Ellis
Active Decades: '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s
Born: Aug 04, 1921 in Farmersville, TX
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Bop, Cool, Mainstream Jazz, Swing, West Coast Jazz
An excellent bop-based guitarist with a slight country twang to his sound, Herb Ellis became famous playing with the Oscar Peterson Trio during 1953-1958. Prior to that, he had attended North Texas State University and played with the Casa Loma Orchestra, Jimmy Dorsey (1945-1947), and the sadly under-recorded trio Soft Winds. While with Peterson, Ellis was on some Jazz at the Philharmonic tours and had a few opportunities to lead his own dates for Verve, including his personal favorite, Nothing but the Blues (1957). After leaving Peterson, Ellis toured a bit with Ella Fitzgerald; became a studio musician on the West Coast; made sessions with the Dukes of Dixieland, Stuff Smith, and Charlie Byrd; and in the 1970s became much more active in the jazz world. He is on the first three Concord releases, interacting with Joe Pass on the initial two, and toured with the Great Guitars (along with Byrd and Barney Kessel) through much of the 1970s into the '80s. After a long series of Concord albums, Herb Ellis cut a couple of excellent sessions in the 1990s for Justice, as well as 1999's Burnin' on Acoustic Music.
