  • Description

    This release contains the complete classic album The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery(Riverside RLP12-320), featuring the guitarist in a quartet format with the wonderful rhythm section of Tommy Flanagan, Percy Heath and Albert "Tootie" Heath.

    Two of the album's tunes have been reprised and added as bonus tracks: 'D-Natural Blues' and 'West Coast Blues'



    Wes Montgomery (1925-1968) was one of the most revered guitarists in jazz history. The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomerywas his third album as a leader, and highly praised as soon as it was released, receiving a five-star rating in DownBeat magazine.



    "If anyone took time to examine the ballots of the 1960 critics' poll closely, they would have seen that I was one of two who voted for Wes Montgomery as No.1 on the guitar in the established category. This album had a lot to do with my vote. In the many times I have listened to this album, I have not become tired of it. I don't think I will. To produce easy-listening music with meaning is a high accomplishment. Strongly recommended. Montgomery incredible? I believe him!" - Ira Gitler, DownBeat
