Herb Ellis • Roll Call



Review by Scott Yanow
Herb Ellis' first full set as a leader since leaving the Concord label (where he had been during 1973-88) finds him in inspired form. The veteran guitarist is heard in a trio with the recently rediscovered organist Mel Rhyne and drummer Jake Hanna plus guest violinist Johnny Frigo and Jay Thomas on tenor and flugelhorn. A fire seemed to have been lit under Ellis for he plays on the well-rounded program with much more passion than he had on most of his later Concord albums. This CD is highlighted by "Just Blue," "Limehouse Blues," "Sugar Hill Stomp," and "Detour Ahead" but all 11 selections are worth hearing. Recommended.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
El primer set completo de Herb Ellis como líder desde que dejó el sello Concord (donde había estado durante 1973-88) lo encuentra en una forma inspirada. El veterano guitarrista es escuchado en un trío con el recientemente redescubierto organista Mel Rhyne y el baterista Jake Hanna, además del violinista invitado Johnny Frigo y Jay Thomas en el tenor y flugelhorn. Parece que se ha encendido un fuego bajo Ellis, ya que toca en este programa tan completo con mucha más pasión que en la mayoría de sus últimos álbumes de Concord. En este CD destacan "Just Blue", "Limehouse Blues", "Sugar Hill Stomp" y "Detour Ahead", pero vale la pena escuchar las 11 selecciones. Recomendado.
