My nominee for album of the week is Herb Ellis: Nothing But The Blues. This 1957 release is a straightahead, blues-oriented date featuring Roy Eldridge and Stan Getz (surprisingly at home, IMO)of a sort no longer available. Ellis was from southwestern Texas hill country and the "hillbilly", "country blues" show up throughout. Albums like this don't get made often-unpretentious, yet unpredictable, unhampered by egotistical flights of fancy. The date kicks off with Pap's Blues featuring Roy (reflecting Louis' influence on him), a smokey Getz chorus and the thematic statement by the leader.Roy comes roaring to life in Big Red's Boogie-Woogie, some hard-driving rhythm ' n blues from Ellis, superior work all around. Tin Roof Blues gets a graceful treatment from Ellis, Eldridge, Getz and rock solid support from Ray Brown and Stan Levey. You can almost hear the river sailing by in the night. Royal Garden Blues is a favorite of long standing, enlivened by the leader, a call and response between Herb & Roy, more assured solo work from Stan, a fiery solo from Roy. This album is more carefully crafted than a casual jam session and repays careful relistening. Much of Ellis' work falls into this category-Nothing But The Blues is my favorite from this neglected artisi's repertoire.

My Album of the week:

John McLaughlin: Time Remembered - John McLaughlin plays Bill Evans

John McLaughlin: Acoustic Guitar

Yan Maresz: Acoustic Bass

Pascal Rabatti: Acoustic Guitar

François Szonyi: Acoustic Guitar

I first heard Waltz for Debbie played on this album. It is far and away my favorite version even thought I have it by the master Bill Evans. Beautiful arrangements and the all acoustic guitars evoke the intricate melodies of the original compositions. An amazing tribute that in my opinion improves on the originals. I bought this over 6 years ago and it has always been one of my favorite CD's

@scamwb - I totally agree. It's beautiful album, and an inspired choice of instrumentation - using one of the most beautiful sounds to interpret some of the most beautiful compositions in jazz.

My choice for AOTW (which is to say last week, for this one is but a day and change old)

Wayne Krantz: Greenwich Mean

This is extraordinarily exciting music at times. It offered a new way forward for the jazz guitar trio, and most importantly displayed the empathy that Krantz and his boys had developed over repeat performances. One of the many gigs I wish I'd caught would include a set of theirs at the 55 Club during this period.
