Herb Ellis & Ray Brown, "Soft Shoe" (1974).

This early Concord recording is unusual in a couple of ways. Both co-leaders, guitarist Herb Ellis and bassist Ray Brown, are backed not only by trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison (here looks very colorful) and drummer Jake Hanna, but also by the pianist George Duke in one of its few mainstream jazz recordings . The repertoire includes jazz versions of themes as rare as "Inka-Dinka-Doo" "Easter Parade" and "The Flintstones Theme" (theme from The Flintstones cartoon ) , the latter (que está basado en los cambios de acordes del familiar "I Got Rhythm") fue el primero de varios en transformarse de una melodía de cartoon (dibujo animado) al jazz. Adicionalmente, Brown ("Soft Shoe"), Edison y Ellis contribuyen con una pieza propia cada uno y, además, hay una versión de "On Green Dolphin Street" que está hecha por Brown y Ellis en formato de dueto. Recomendado.
