About the album:
In his skyrocketing but tragically brief career (his first album as a leader came late in 1959; he died of a heart attack in 1968), Wes Montgomery completely revolutionized jazz guitar. But when first discovered, he was working in the basic guitar-organ-drums “bar band” format, and it remained a setting in which he always felt comfortable and creatively free. His first and last Riverside sessions were in this vein, but the present album–a 1963 date on which he is joined by hometown colleague Mel Rhyne on organ and spurred by a peak performance from drummer Jimmy Cobb–is widely regarded as the most fully effective of its kind.

It has been a pleasure to learn Jazz Classics on a guitar and to hear Wes Montgomery playing. 😊 A great gift of musical history. I hope to see him playing in the new world, one day. 😊

This guy has a touch unequalled in this universe; years ago my sister sent me a CD Wes Montgomery live at Tsubo 1962. I San Francisco at the time Miles Davis gave his crew the week-end off. They jammed impromptu with Wes in Berkeley. The result “ Full House” knocked me out.
