This release contains Wes Montgomery's complete classic album Groove Yard (Riverside RLP 9-362), featuring the guitarist in a quartet format with his brothers Buddy on piano, and Monk on bass, plus Bobby Thomas on drums. In addition to all known alternate takes from the session, it had been added the original 1957 version of "Bock to Bock", as well as a live version of Milt Jackson's "Heartstrings" recorded a few months after Groove Yard was made.
