Willow Weep for Me - sweet melancholy
Wes Montgomery's thumbed octave strumming adds original surprises to the good range of upbeat and downbeat selections found on this ablum. Hard to find in stores, grab it while you can in any form you can find it - import or domestic. I've sampled a few other Montgomery albums (my other favorite being The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery) but this has the best...

Wes With Horns

Wes Montgomery's thumbed octave strumming adds original surprises to the good range of upbeat and downbeat selections found on this ablum. Hard to find in stores, grab it while you can in any form you can find it - import or domestic. I've sampled a few other Montgomery albums (my other favorite being The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery) but this has the best mood. The last three tunes are devine! His lilting, slow vibrato phrasing in tunes like "Oh! You Crazy Moon" and "Misty" make this a winning selection for those who like a little blue in their jazz. And the impeccable up-tempo "Four on Six" may just be one of the best works of this early jazz master.

I tried that one too but didn't like the orchestrated stuff there either. All I really wanted was to hear Wes do Impressions (I love that song). So I ended up getting the "Complete Live in Paris" cd. That is a great cd, and it has Impressions on it, so I'm happy.

Chops that are always worth revisiting, even on sappier arranged albums.
