Wes Montgomery (guitar)
A short-yet-potent budget-priced collection, EMI/Blue Note's THE BEST OF WES MONTGOMERY presents 10 classic tracks by the legendary jazz guitarist. The quality of the tunes here--including the energetic "Billie's Bounce," the gentle "Leila," and a vibrant take on the usually melancholy "Summertime"--is indisputable, with Montgomery's dazzlingly deft fretwork carrying every song. Given that this covers Montgomery's Blue Note years, it's pretty safe to assume that these tunes were recorded during 1957 and/or '58, but the lack of liner notes does tend to leave listeners without much to go on except the music itself, which is, of course, stellar. As a brief introduction to the artist, THE BEST OF WES MONTGOMERY is a good place to start, though Riverside's identically titled compilation or the guitarist's installment in Verve's FINEST HOUR series are other excellent options.

The ten cuts that make up this "best of" CD are simply the best of guitarist Wes Montgomery's tenure with the Pacific Jazz label in 1957 and '58, before leaving the label to sign with Riverside. These tracks are significant in that they feature Montgomery's already developed voice as a soloist and as a composer. Along with his brothers, Monk and Buddy, Montgomery adds to the small group saxophonist Harold Land on about half these cuts (from the album Far Wes), and trumpeter Freddie Hubbard (from the disc Fingerpickin') along with drummer Louis Hayes and a couple of pieces from Kismet. Collectors and hardcore fans will have everything here as it has all been released in various incarnations before, and those coming to Montgomery for the first time should look into the Riverside, Milestone, and Verve recordings first.
