AVID Jazz here presents three classic Wes Montgomery albums plus, including
original LP liner notes on a finely re-mastered and low priced double CD.
â€œThe Wes Montgomery Trioâ€, â€œMontgomerylandâ€, â€œThe
Incredible Jazz Guitarâ€and â€œMovin Alongâ€ (minus one track!).
The original liner notes for â€œTrioâ€ describe how label owner Orrin
Keepnews was urged by Cannonball Adderley and a review by composer, musician and
critic Gunther Schuller to check out an â€œextraordinarily
spectacularâ€¦â€¦unbearably excitingâ€ young guitarist by the name
of Wes Montgomery. Listen for yourself and you will discover that their
enthusiasm was well founded! â€œTrioâ€ is now becoming hard to find on
CD! For â€œMontgomerylandâ€ we discover that Wesâ€™s self taught
style had much in common with that of John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins in that
instead of the flowing style of Charlie Christian his was of a more jabbing,
fierce intensity, attacking the instrument in the same way the two saxophonists
attacked their horns. On the album we hear the Montgomery brothers (Wes, Monk
and Buddy) along with the underrated tenor sax of Harold Land all on excellent
form, the brothers happy to be together again. â€œMontgomerylandâ€ is
only available as a full price double CD! â€œThe Incredible Jazz
Guitarâ€ is arguably the best Montgomery album available and there are
moments during this fine album where Wes really does sound like â€œThe
Masterâ€! As the albums original liner notes contest, employing a quote
from respected music journalist Ralph J Gleasonâ€¦â€¦â€¦â€Make
no mistake, Wes Montgomery is the best thing to happen to the guitar since
Charlie Christianâ€. Finally six tracks from â€œMovin Alongâ€ from
a â€œphenomenal and drastically original guitaristâ€ who was almost
dragged out of domestic bliss (and rearing six children!) by Cannonball Adderley
who was passing through his home town of Indianapolis. By the end of 1960 Wes
Montgomery had (seemingly albeit reluctantly) firmly established himself on the
jazz scene and was now quite literally â€œMovin Alongâ€!
All three albums plus have been digitally re-mastered for probably the finest
sound quality ever!
