I always understood that Soft Winds was Herb Ellis guitar, Lou Carter piano and John Frigo violin. John Frigo was also a bass player so perhaps he played bass.
"Pianist Lou Carter told journalist Robert Dupuis in a 1996 interview, "The Dorsey band had a six-week hole in the schedule. The three of us had played together some with the big band. John Frigo, who had already left the band, knew the owner of the Peter Stuyvesant Hotel in Buffalo. We went in there and stayed six months. And that's how the group the Soft Winds were born." Together with Frigo and Lou Carter, Ellis wrote the classic jazz standard "Detour Ahead". The Soft Winds group was fashioned after the Nat King Cole Trio. They stayed together until 1952. Ellis then joined the Oscar Peterson Trio (replacing Barney Kessell) in 1953, forming what Scott Yanow would later on refer to as "one of the most memorable of all the piano, guitar, and bass trios in jazz history".Last edited by Para; 09-04-2014 at 02:01 PM.

Sorry all. My mistake, Thanks Para, you're absolutely correct. John Frigo plays bass and violin.

I hadn't heard of these records before. Thanks for mentioning 'em, guys!

As a special treat, I received Triple Treat from Herb for my 30th birthday. ;-)
