Resonance Records, the leading archival jazz specialists, continues their
recently inaugurated series of samplers, the Takao Fujioka Collection, on June
21 with a pair of packages devoted to material from their bestselling,
award-winning and previously unreleased recordings by pianist Bill Evans and
guitarist Wes Montgomery.

Wesâ€™s Best: The Best of Wes Montgomery on Resonance draws from Echoes of
Indiana Avenue (2012); In the Beginning (2015); One Night in Indy (2016);
Smokinâ€™ in Seattle (2017); and Back on Indiana Avenue (2019). A complete
track listing for both packages appears below. Back on Indiana Avenue was issued
for the first time as limited edition two-LP set on Record Store Day 2019, and 3
tracks from the album appear on Wesâ€™s Best.

Montgomeryâ€™s Smokinâ€™ in Seattle, culled from 1966 broadcast dates
with pianist Wynton Kellyâ€™s trio, was recorded less than a year after
1965â€™s classic Smokinâ€™ at the Half Note and received similar kudos
from DownBeat, JazzTimes, and NPR.

All of Resonanceâ€™s albums devoted to Evans and Montgomery have been
released with the full cooperation of the musiciansâ€™ estates. Zev
Feldman, Resonance co-president and producer, says, â€œItâ€™s been an
honor to work so closely with Evan and Robert of the Evans and Montgomery
estates over the course of the last 9 years to bring these incredible, unearthed
treasures to light. These artists are really in the bedrock of our label, and
itâ€™s been remarkable to see the kind of excitement our releases generate
in the press and with our fans.â€

Wes Montgomeryâ€™s son Robert writes in Wesâ€™s Best,
â€œItâ€™s been a thrill to participate with Resonance Records these
last nine years in getting my fatherâ€™s music out to the worldâ€¦ I
appreciate the care Resonance always takes to honor my fatherâ€™s memory
with each release â€” including interviews and essays about the music and
finding rare pictures.â€

Like Resonanceâ€™s first two compilations in the Takao Fujioka Collection
â€“ Sing a Song of Jazz: The Best of Vocal Jazz on Resonance and Jazz Piano
Panorama: The Best of Piano Jazz on Resonance, released in May â€“ the
newly released Evans and Montgomery samplers features the eye-catching artwork
and design of Fujioka, editor of the Japanese jazz journal Way Out West; he
supplied the cover art for Resonanceâ€™s 2016 Stan Getz release Moments in
Time.
