	       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.

Wes’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);
Smokin’ 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 Wes’s Best.

Montgomery’s Smokin’ in Seattle, culled from 1966 broadcast dates with
pianist Wynton Kelly’s trio, was recorded less than a year after 1965’s
classic Smokin’ at the Half Note and received similar kudos from DownBeat,
JazzTimes, and NPR.

All of Resonance’s albums devoted to Evans and Montgomery have been released
with the full cooperation of the musicians’ estates. Zev Feldman, Resonance
co-president and producer, says, “It’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 it’s been remarkable to see the
kind of excitement our releases generate in the press and with our fans.”

Wes Montgomery’s son Robert writes in Wes’s Best, “It’s been a thrill to
participate with Resonance Records these last nine years in getting my
father’s music out to the world… I appreciate the care Resonance always
takes to honor my father’s memory with each release — including interviews
and essays about the music and finding rare pictures.”

Like Resonance’s first two compilations in the Takao Fujioka Collection –
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 – 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 Resonance’s 2016 Stan Getz release Moments in Time.
