 Herb Ellis : Ellis in Wonderland - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
In the midst of his tenure with the Oscar Peterson Trio, Herb Ellis had the chance to turn the tables on his boss and employ him as a sideman, though the keyboard virtuoso strangely reigns in his chops and pretty much stays in the background.
Ellis' originals include the easygoing "Sweetheart Blues" and the cooking bop vehicle "Pogo," where both the leader and Edison eclipse Giuffre's efforts on sax.
The well-known "Detour Ahead" (jointly credited to Ellis and his former Soft Winds bandmates Lou Carter and Johnny Frigo, though Frigo has long maintained that it was his composition alone) has a chamber-like setting, with the band primarily providing background for Ellis, though Ray Brown gets in a snappy solo toward the end.

This 1990 CD reissues an outing by guitarist Herb Ellis [+] that was previously only put out by Japanese Sony.
However, other than "Soft Distant" (uncredited but possibly a Ron Carter [+] song), all of the music is very much in the style of Ellis' Concord recordings of the period, being comprised of veteran standards, ballads and basic originals.
Ellis and his sidemen (most of whom he had rarely worked with previously) blend together well, with the highlights including "Pres for President" (similar to "Lester Leaps In"), "Put Your Little Foot Right Out," and a cooking "There Is No Greater Love." A real rarity.

 The Oscar Peterson Trio: Vancouver 1958, with Herb Ellis and Ray Brown - PopMatters Music Review
Ellis takes his "Patricia" unaccompanied, and now and then there are echoes of Django Reinhardt and sometimes chords so full only Grappelli's missing from the whole Hot Club Quintet I still remember the Herb Ellis/Benny Carter tour.
Ellis came on first with the trio and after a couple of numbers people were wondering what on earth even Benny Carter could add.
In "Patricia", Ellis takes his theme out of tempo as if he was just feeling his way around with the guitar, looking for ideas, but in his case they are never far away.
