Biography
by Scott Yanow
An
excellent bop-based guitarist with a slight country twang to his sound,
Herb Ellis became famous playing with the Oscar Peterson Trio during
1953-1958. Prior to that, he had attended North Texas State University
and played with the Casa Loma Orchestra, Jimmy Dorsey (1945-1947), and
the sadly under-recorded trio Soft Winds. While with Peterson, Ellis was
on some Jazz at the Philharmonic tours and had a few opportunities to
lead his own dates for Verve, including his personal favorite, Nothing
But the Blues (1957). After leaving Peterson, Ellis toured a bit with
Ella Fitzgerald; became a studio musician on the West Coast; made
sessions with the Dukes of Dixieland, Stuff Smith, and Charlie Byrd; and
in the 1970s became much more active in the jazz world. He can be heard
on the first three releases issued by the Concord label, interacting
with Joe Pass on the initial two, and he toured with the Great Guitars
(along with Byrd and Barney Kessel) through much of the 1970s into the
'80s. After a long series of Concord albums, Ellis cut a couple of
excellent sessions in the 1990s for Justice, as well as 1999's Burnin'
on Acoustic Music. After battling Alzheimer's disease, Herb Ellis died
at the age of 88 at his home in Los Angeles on March 28, 2010.

Biografía
por Scott Yanow
Herb
Ellis, un excelente guitarrista basado en el bop con un ligero toque
country en su sonido, se hizo famoso tocando con el Oscar Peterson Trio
durante 1953-1958. Antes de eso, había asistido a la Universidad Estatal
del Norte de Texas y tocado con la Orquesta Casa Loma, Jimmy Dorsey
(1945-1947) y el trío Soft Winds, tristemente infrautilizado. Mientras
estuvo con Peterson, Ellis participó en algunas giras de Jazz at the
Philharmonic y tuvo algunas oportunidades de dirigir sus propias fechas
para Verve, incluyendo su favorito personal, Nothing But the Blues
(1957). Tras dejar a Peterson, Ellis realizó algunas giras con Ella
Fitzgerald; se convirtió en músico de estudio en la Costa Oeste; realizó
sesiones con los Dukes of Dixieland, Stuff Smith y Charlie Byrd; y en
los años 70 se volvió mucho más activo en el mundo del jazz. Se le puede
escuchar en los tres primeros lanzamientos publicados por el sello
Concord, interactuando con Joe Pass en los dos primeros, y estuvo de
gira con los Great Guitars (junto con Byrd y Barney Kessel) durante gran
parte de los años 70 y los 80. Tras una larga serie de álbumes de
Concord, Ellis grabó un par de excelentes sesiones en la década de 1990
para Justice, así como Burnin' on Acoustic Music de 1999. Tras luchar
contra la enfermedad de Alzheimer, Herb Ellis murió a los 88 años en su
casa de Los Ángeles el 28 de marzo de 2010.
