 Herb Ellis - I just discovered! I'm fairly new to jazz guitar and I just bought a used CD of Herb. Any analysis from others on his playing? His jamming with Oscar Peterson is a resume builder and probably the high point of his career. Bruce     |

| Yep, his work with the Oscar Peterson Trio was stellar. Then again, look at who his band-mates were. OP and Ray Brown? I mean come on, it does NOT get better than that! |

| I wouldn't be a jazz guitarist in a lot of ways if it wasn't for Herb. I got into the music through OP, Herb was the first Jazz guitarist I could identify with. He was a legend.

| Herb Ellis is one of my all time favorites. Along with his work with Oscar Peterson I also enjoyed his trio work with the Great Guitars ensemble with Barney Kessel and Tal Farlow, a lot of which is out on DVD, and the duet work he did with Joe Pass, I think they did at least 2 albums together. |

| I pretty much wore out a vinyl LP copy of "Herb Mix" when I was in college. There doesn't seem to be enough of Herb over on youtube. Hard not to like this one though:
