BIOGRAPHY:
Herb Ellis was born Mitchell Herbert Ellis in Farmersville, Texas, USA, on August 4th, 1921. He started playing harmonica when he was a child, but switched to guitar soon.
He played with Glen Gray and later, he played with Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra during 3 years. He then formed a vocal and instrumental trio called Soft Winds during 5 more years, until 1952.
OSCAR PETERSON GROUP
Around 1953, Herb Ellis joins the Oscar Peterson Trio:
They stayed together five years, until November 1958, releasing many albums as well as touring a lot. When Ellis left, Peterson didn´t replace him with another guitarist, but with a drummer (Ed Thigpen).
