About this album

At Montreux Summer 1979 finds Herb Ellis in fluent, hard-swinging form, bringing his elegant bop guitar style to a live festival setting. Recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival and issued in 1980, the album captures Ellis with the clarity, poise and rhythmic lightness that made him one of jazz guitar’s most respected voices. Best known for his work with the Oscar Peterson Trio and as a master of relaxed, melodic improvising, Ellis here turns familiar standards into concise, swinging statements. The set underlines his gift for timing, tone and understated authority on the bandstand.
