Album Notes Personnel: Herb Ellis (guitar); Charlie Mariano (alto saxophone); Jimmy Giuffre (tenor saxophone); Harry "Sweets" Edison (trumpet); Oscar Peterson (piano); Ray Brown (double bass); Alvin Stoller (drums).Recording information: Hollywood, California (12/1955); Hollywood, California (01/1956).High quality small-group jazz from the Texas-born guitarist Herb Ellis, accompanied here by a stellar band that includes the pianist Oscar Peterson, the saxophonist Jimmy Giuffre, and trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison. Ellis concocts a heady swirl of bebop and blues in a set that blends a majority of originals with a couple of standards, Rodgers and Hart's "Have You Met Miss Jones," and George Gershwin's "Somebody Loves Me."
