    About Herb Ellis

    Herb Ellis, born Mitchell Herbert Ellis, was a pioneering American jazz guitarist whose career spanned decades, leaving an indelible mark on the genre. Hailing from Farmersville, Texas, Ellis' journey began with the influence of Western swing and jazz, shaping his unique, blues-inflected style. He is perhaps best known for his tenure with the Oscar Peterson Trio from 1953 to 1958, where his nimble improvisations and distinctive swing feel complemented Peterson's prodigious piano playing. Ellis' collaborations extended beyond Peterson, including notable work with Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass, and he was a member of the esteemed Great Guitars ensemble. His compositions, such as "Detour Ahead" and "I Told Ya I Love Ya, Now Get Out," are jazz standards, showcasing his wit and musical prowess. Ellis' iconic use of a 1953 Gibson ES-175 further cemented his legacy, making him a beloved figure among jazz enthusiasts and musicians alike.
