That is very sad news. He was a wonderful guitarist. Thanks for posting the news.
If anyone finds a good obituary, please post it on this thread.
Shine On Michael.

I posted this yesterday - or so I thought, but my web-browser has been a bit off the last few days for some reason: it DID appear on Stefan Grossman's Woodshed but not here. Go figure. www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-herb-ellis31-2010mar31,0,569261.story I saw Ellis on TV sometime in the mid 70s and was seriously mind-blown. He and Joe Pass were my two all time favourite jazz guitarists (though Gary Boyle is very close behind!). Gerry C Edit: just found this. Enjoy!
