Review by Scott Yanow
Despite the title of this record by guitarist Herb Ellis, the songs are not all sleepy ballads. In fact, the opening number played by the quartet (which also includes pianist Ross Tompkins, bassist Monty Budwig and drummer Jake Hanna) is a rapid version of "Shine" and there is also an uptempo rendition of "Rosetta" to close the date. In between Ellis and his group perform five standards (including a few ballads) plus his original "Jeff's Bad Blues," dedicated to Concord head Carl Jefferson. An excellent all-round set of swinging music.

A pesar del título de este disco del guitarrista Herb Ellis, las canciones no son todas baladas soñolientas. De hecho, el número de apertura interpretado por el cuarteto (que también incluye al pianista Ross Tompkins, al bajista Monty Budwig y al baterista Jake Hanna) es una versión rápida de "Shine" y también hay una versión uptempo de "Rosetta" para cerrar la fecha. Entre Ellis y su grupo realizan cinco estándares (incluidas algunas baladas) más su "Jeff's Bad Blues" original, dedicado al jefe de Concord Carl Jefferson. Un excelente conjunto de música swinging.
