Martin Taylor on guitar – joined by Chet Atkins on three songs. CD

A nice early set from jazz guitar greats Herb Ellis and Charlie Byrd – who would work together much more frequently in the years to come – but sharing a rare early 60s joint set on 1964's Guitar/Guitar! This is one of the earliest, if not the earliest pairings on record for these guys as a joint effort – and it's a really warm, engaging blend of Byrd's finger style acoustic playing and Ellis's clean electric eclecticism. The run through some nice jazzy blues and west coast breezy modes, a little bit of bossa, a touch of Chet Atkins style twang, and more – all of it pretty laidback and charming! Titles include "Se Todos Fossem Iquais A Voce", "Chung King", "Carolina In The Morning", "Three Quarter Blues", "Take Care Of Yourself", "Jazz 'N' Samba", "Oh, Lady Be Good", "Things Ain't What They Used To Be", "A Hundred Years From Today", "and "Bluesette".

A classic all-star set from Prestige Records – cut during that late 50s stretch when they took key players to Rudy Van Gelder's, and really let them open up in the studio! The set features three great talents on tenor – John Coltrane, Paul Quinichette, and Frank Wess – the last of whom also blows a bit of flute – and the super rhythm section features Mal Waldron on piano, Doug Watkins on bass, and Art Taylor on drums! All tracks are nice and long – and titles include "Wheelin", "Dealin", and "Things Ain't What They Used To Be". CD
