From his birth in Farmersville, Texas to his work with Jimmy Dorsey, Ella Fitzgerald and his career-defining partnership with the Oscar Peterson Trio in the 1950s, Ellis' career is discussed in detail through on-camera interviews with those who knew him best, including Charlie Byrd, Lionel Hampton, Benny Green, and Gene Harris. Also included in this release are complete performances of such classics as "The Days of Wine and Roses", "Georgia on My Mind", and "Body and Soul" and more taken from various live performances and studio sessions. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
