The magic of swing that shakes the silence of the night
A blissful session where you can enjoy Herb Ellis's sweet and refined guitar style.
As the title "Midnight Roll" suggests, the charm of this album lies in its lighthearted and sophisticated performance set in a relaxed midnight atmosphere. His touch is light yet conveys a deep bluesy flavor, drawing the listener into a pleasant state of rapture. The seamless interplay with the rhythm section is also superb, allowing listeners to rediscover the true joy of jazz.
