Jazz
Guitarist Herb Ellis still considers this to be one of his personal favorite recordings. Ellis was reunited with his old boss Oscar Peterson and, with the assistance of Peterson's trio of the period (with bassist Sam Jones and drummer Bobby Durham), the two lead voices often romp on the jam session-flavored set. Most of the chord changes are fairly basic (including three blues and "Seven Come Eleven"), and Peterson was clearly inspired by Ellis' presence (and vice versa).

This is a wonderful album on a small label that I don't recall seeing before. The liners notes state that this album was, "Recorded by Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer in his private studio at Villingen" wherever that may be. Herb and Oscar have a long history of playing together and it had been years since Oscar replaced the guitar in his trio with drums. Whether it's with a trio or quartet, Oscar and his merry band can swing, creep, crawl and bring forth lyrical duets between the piano and guitar while the rock solid rhythm section propells the whole thing along at the appropriate tempo. While Herb may look a little out of place on the front cover his playing on this record ensures that the listener knows that he feels right at home in this configuration. Small label, big music.
