Wes Montgomery – The Incredible Jazz Guitar Of Wes Montgomery

"The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery", released in 1960, is widely regarded as one of the most important albums in modern jazz history and a true showcase of Wes Montgomery’s guitar mastery.

Accompanied by Tommy Flanagan on piano, Percy Heath on bass, and Albert Heath on drums, Montgomery delivers a flawless blend of technical virtuosity, melodic sensitivity, and impeccable swing. Tracks like “D-Natural Blues,” “Four on Six,” and “West Coast Blues” highlight his distinctive approach, marked by the use of his thumb instead of a pick and deeply expressive melodic lines. This album is an essential reference for guitarists and jazz enthusiasts alike, capturing the brilliance of a musician who redefined the role of the guitar in jazz.
