This recording was the third and final matchup between guitarists Herb Ellis and Joe Pass and, unlike the first two (which were both made for Concord), this is a duo date rather than a quartet session. Pass was just beginning to gain recognition for his remarkable unaccompanied solos, but Ellis had not recorded in such a sparse setting before. They complement each other quite well on such tunes as &Love for Sale,& &Seven Come Eleven,& &Oh, Lady Be Good,& &I've Found a New Baby,& and two versions of &Cherokee.& Highly recommended.
