    Wes Montgomery

    Just discovered him, via Smokin' At The Half Note.

    Marvellous stuff. Anything else I should check out as a priority?

      "Full House" the live Riverside album with Johnny Griffin on tenor and the then Miles Davis rhythm section, Kelly, Chambers, Cobb. Absolutely glorious, driving, incredible stuff from all. Wes had a double jointed thumb which supposedly explains how he did some of that stuff. But I think he had three thumbs and sixteen fingers. At least.

        Wes was one of the four Americans I experienced at Ronnie's, ca. 1965, before it became The Old Place. Unforgettable.

        Actually five, since Zoot Sims came with Al Cohn.

          I was quite pleased with this a couple of years ago - when it was on offer - https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Complete-...+complete+1958

          This is another - quite a reasonable price at the moment - https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Complete-...+complete+1960

            I like this - though I have it as a DSD download rather than a CD...

              I have a number of Wes' recordings - not aired them for a while - thanks for this thread Conchis - I'll extract them from the shelves!

                The live albums are great.
