Herb Ellis – Nothing But The Blues (1957, US Original Verve Mono LP)

Herb Ellis – Nothing But The Blues (1957, US Original Verve Mono LP)

A well-played G+ copy of a genuine late-50s Verve original — the vinyl has surface scratches throughout but plays well, and the sleeve shows the honest wear of nearly seven decades of life. Priced accordingly for the collector who wants the real thing and doesn't mind a player-grade copy.

Recorded in 1957 and released on Verve Records, Nothing But The Blues is one of guitarist Herb Ellis's most celebrated sessions — a straight-ahead blues blowing date featuring an all-star lineup that included Roy Eldridge, Stan Getz, Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, and Jo Jones. It's a record that captures the very best of late-50s Verve at their most loose and swinging, and an original mono pressing like this — whatever its condition — is the genuine article from one of jazz's golden eras.
