This recording was the third and final matchup between guitarists
Herb Ellis and
Joe Pass and, unlike the first two (which were both made for Concord), this is a duo date rather than a quartet session.
Pass was just beginning to gain recognition for his remarkable unaccompanied solos, but
Ellis had not recorded in such a sparse setting before. They complement each other quite well on such tunes as "Love for Sale," "Seven Come Eleven," "Oh, Lady Be Good," "I've Found a New Baby," and two versions of "Cherokee." Highly recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
