Prelude to a Kiss There s Be Some Changes Made An excellent bopbased guitarist with a slight country twang to his sound, Herb Ellis became famous playing with the Oscar Peterson Trio during 19531958. Prior to that, he had attended North Texas State University and played with the Casa Loma Orchestra, Jimmy Dorsey (19451947), and the sadly underrecorded trio Soft Winds. While with Peterson, Ellis was on some Jazz at the Philharmonic tours and had a few opportunities to lead his own dates for Verve, including his personal favorite, Nothing But the Blues
