Herb Ellis & Ross Tompkins - A Pair To Draw To (1976) [Jazz][Fla

Herb Ellis & Ross Tompkins - A Pair To Draw To 

Recorded at Coast Recorders, San Francisco, CA in 1976

Year: 1976

Label: Concord Jazz   CJ-17

Bitrate: flac



"A nice balance of guitar and piano in a duet setting.  Both artists are accomplished professionals and it shows on this pairing.  



Ellis has played with the likes of Ella, Oscar Peterson and Ben Webster to name but a few.  Tompkins, the Tonight Show pianist for 



nearly 10 years has also played with Benny Goodman in the late 50's.  There's a few old standards here that you may recognize 



and a few new tunes that may become standards over time.  A nice cover photo and informative liner notes complete the package."

 

Personnel:

Herb Ellis: guitar

Ross Tompkins: piano
