HERB ELLIS - MIDNIGHT ROLL

EU-only release containing the complete sessions from the outstanding album the Midnight Roll, featuring two All-Star small group formations. Included are Roy Eldridge or Dukes of Dixieland's Frank Assunto on trumpet, Buddy Tate on tenor sax, Ray Bryant on piano, and on some tracks, the ill-fated bassist Israel Crosby, who is best known for his work with the Ahmad Jamal Trio. Crosby died of a heart attack on August 11, 1962, less than two months after recording this date. All existing tracks from the sessions that were not included on the original LP have been added here as a bonus, as well as an earlier version of 'Gravy Waltz' taped by Ellis in a quartet format the previous year. Includes 12-page booklet. Essential Jazz Classics.
