Trivia

   Tuesday night's Festival Within a Festival show was a

four-hour guitar blowout, "To Herb Ellis With Love," well produced but involving so many guitarists that none, save Ellis, was given enough time.

  With the indefatigable Earl May on bass and Winard Harper

on drums, 17 guitarists (only one, Andy Summers - of

"Police"  fame - playing electric) did their thing. Some

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 without bass and drums - Gene Bertoncini, Joe Diori, Ron Affif and Scotland's astonishing Martin Taylor, whose

"I Got Rhythm"  variations had the audience on its feet,

cheering.

  Tucked in the middle of the concert was a beautiful

segment featuring the honored Ellis with his "Great Guitars" colleague, Charlie Byrd, and Lowe, taking over for the ailing Barney Kessel. This trio interlude ( "Undecided," "Things Ain't What They Used To Be" ) featured Ellis playing with his usual strong swing; it also displayed the remarkable technique and tone of Byrd and the elegant, smooth harmonies of Lowe.

  Some of the evening's brightest moments were provided by

Elf ( "I Thought About You" ), Alden & Elf ( "A Smooth One" ), Summers ( "In Your Own Sweet Way" ) and Lowe, with 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.<
