played as a duo - Joe Puma / Remo Palmier; Mark Elf / Alden;
 
Mundell Lowe / Sal Salvador; John Abercrombie / Vic Juris;
 
Jimmy Bruno / Jack Wilkins. Others played solo, with and

also displayed the remarkable technique and tone of Byrd

Elf ( "I Thought About You" ), Alden & Elf ( "A Smooth

Salvador, playing Ellis' familiar  "Detour Ahead."  The
 
concert ended with Ellis, in the spotlight, playing an
 
up-tempo blues with the rest of the performers
 
surrounding him, standing. A nice touch.<
