Wes Montgomery Trio • 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

La versión final de Riverside del material de Wes Montgomery (antes de que el importante sello quebrara completamente) fue similar a su debut cuatro años antes: un trío con el organista Melvin Rhyne y un baterista oscuro (esta vez George Brown). En general, la música se mueve 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 para Verve, pero este lanzamiento fue realmente el final de una era.
