Wes Montgomery • Guitar On The Go



Review by Scott Yanow
The final Riverside release of Wes Montgomery material (before the important label went completely bankrupt) was similar to his debut four years earlier: a trio with organist Melvin Rhyne and an obscure drummer (this time George Brown). In general, the music swings hard (particularly the two versions of "The Way You Look Tonight"), and is a worthy if not essential addition to Wes Montgomery's discography. He would have a few straight-ahead dates for Verve, but this release was really the end of an era.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
El último lanzamiento de Riverside del material de Wes Montgomery (antes de que el importante sello quebrara por completo) fue similar a su debut cuatro años antes: un trío con el organista Melvin Rhyne y un oscuro baterista (esta vez George Brown). En general, la música oscila con fuerza( particularmente las dos versiones de" The Way You Look Tonight"), y es una adición digna, si no esencial, a la discografía de Wes Montgomery. Tendría algunas fechas directas para Verve, pero este lanzamiento fue realmente el final de una era.
