Shedding the temptation of bop purist revisionism that creeps into most
assessments of Wes Montgomery, this Verve Jazz Masters volume gives newcomers a
good cross-section of his Verve recordings: the orchestral Wes along with the
small-group Wes. The sequencing, though out of chronological order, is quite
clever and musical. Someone who has never heard Montgomery before will be drawn
in most enticingly with his brief yet unforgettably catchy hit with Oliver
Nelson, Goin Out of My Head. That is followed by the burnin Impressions with the
Wynton Kelly Trio live at the Half Note, which in turn gives way to a luscious
Bumpin outtake with strings, My One and Only Love and the Latin-grooving
Tequila, and the sequence rolls on smoothly and with considerable diversity from
there. There are omissions -- nothing from the two albums with Jimmy Smith,
nothing from the A&M catalog (which Verves parent corporation, PolyGram, owns
and could have easily drawn from). But one can still get an idea of how
Montgomerys awesome technical facilities and magical melodic touch dazzled the
musicians and wooed the general public of his time. If you dont watch yourself,
buying this CD might lead to a full-blown Wes Montgomery addiction.
