Only the Blues is a 1957 album by Sonny Stitt, accompanied by Roy Eldridge and Oscar Peterson.

Drew Fields wrote for Allmusic:

While the material is basically set up to let Stitt and Roy Eldridge trade off improvisations, when it is these two the result is energetic and totally worthwhile. Eldridge adds a great deal to the date, taking the music back (in feeling) a little bit to an earlier era. He also seems to push Stitt to keep his game at a high level, which he sometimes needed. Oscar Peterson and Ray Brown are their usual first-rate selves.

4 To Go! by André Previn / Herb Ellis / Shelly Manne / Ray Brown released in 1963 on Columbia

4 to Go! Review by Scott Yanow

This out-of-print LP (when is Columbia going to start seriously reissuing their Andre Previn jazz dates on CD?) is one of the pianist's strongest. Teamed up with guitarist Herb Ellis, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Shelly Manne, Previn performs six standards (including "No Moon at All," "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'" and "Like Someone In Love"), plus an original apiece by each of the musicians. The musicians, all friends, show obvious mutual respect, and despite a lack of rehearsal, the swinging results are generally quite memorable.

Together! Review by Scott Yanow

This Koch CD reissues an interesting and very successful matchup between guitarist Herb Ellis and the great swing violinist Stuff Smith. Pianist Lou Levy and Bob Enevoldsen (doubling on his cool-toned tenor and valve trombone) contribute some solos and drummer Shelly Manne adds fine support. The reissue (which has three alternate takes in addition to the original six-song program) features plenty of cooking and strong interplay between Stuff and Ellis on some blues, the ancient standard "How Come You Do Me Like You Do" (which has one of the violinist's two personable vocals) and Smith's two originals "Hillcrest" and "Skip It." This is one of Ellis' personal favorite records and one of the best recordings from Stuff Smith's later years.
