Herb Ellis • Softly ... But With That Feeling

 

 

Review by Scott Yanow
This somewhat obscure Herb Ellis LP (the fifth and final one that the guitarist led for Verve) is a relaxed affair. Joined by vibraphonist Victor Feldman, bassist Leroy Vinnegar and drummer Ronnie Zito, Ellis swings lightly and easily on such songs as "One Note Samba" (which had not become a bossa nova standard yet), "Like Someone in Love," "John Brown's Body" and Ray Brown's "Gravy Waltz."

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Este LP algo oscuro de Herb Ellis (el quinto y último que el guitarrista dirigió para Verve) es un asunto relajado. Acompañado por el vibrafonista Victor Feldman, el bajista Leroy Vinnegar y el baterista Ronnie Zito, Ellis se balancea con ligereza y facilidad en temas como "One Note Samba" (que aún no se había convertido en un estándar de bossa nova), "Like Someone in Love", "John Brown's Body" y "Gravy Waltz" de Ray Brown.
