About this album

A lively Concord festival set, Seven, Come Eleven captures Herb Ellis and Joe Pass in supple, conversational guitar dialogue backed by Ray Brown and Jake Hanna. Issued in 1974, the album draws on the swing tradition while sounding fresh and instinctive, with standards such as “In A Mellow Tone”, “Prelude To A Kiss” and the title tune given crisp, relaxed readings. The quartet format leaves plenty of room for phrasing, touch and rhythmic wit, and Brown and Hanna provide a buoyant, finely judged foundation. It stands as a rewarding snapshot of two master jazz guitarists in generous live form.
