Jazz
Recorded: Hollywood 1957
Buddy Montgomery (vb), Richie Crabtree (p), Monk Montgomery (Fender electric bass), Benny Barth (d)
With almost the same instrumentation as the Modern Jazz Quartet, The Mastersounds burst on the late-50s scene when the MJQ was already established as the pre-eminent small group in jazz. But they were no imitators. Where the MJQ was all seriousness and sophisticated classical borrowings, the Mastersounds set out to get feet tapping, aided by the distinctive sound of Monk Montgomery's Fender bass. It worked. After securing a three-month booking at a club in Seattle during January 1957, the group went to play at San Francisco's Jazz Showcase, where producer Dick Bock discovered them. They were on their way, becoming the most successful quartet since the MJQ's advent. Popular (and once voted best new small combo in Down Beat's critics poll) they disbanded in 1961. This CD presents their debut recordings, redolent of the time when they first caught the moment.
This is the debut of the lightly swinging quartet distinguished by vibist Buddy Montgomery. It appeals to fans of The Modern Jazz Quartet.

The Mastersounds
Active Decades: '50s and '60s
Born: 1957
Died: 1961
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Cool
Vibraphonist Buddy Montgomery and electric bassist Monk Montgomery (1921-1982) came together to form the Mastersounds (a melodic and easy listening bop group) with pianist Richie Crabtree and drummer Benny Barth in 1957. The band caught on for a few years, cutting ten records in four years for Pacific Jazz, World Pacific, and Fantasy. Wes Montgomery appeared on one of their 1958 albums, a set of songs from the play Kismet. After the group disbanded in 1961, they had a brief reunion in 1965. The two Montgomery brothers had numerous opportunities to play with their more famous sibling under Wes' leadership throughout the 1960s.
