Live (DVD)

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.
