Wes Montgomery & The Montgomery-Johnson Quintet • Live At The Turf Club

 

These recordings were made by a 22 year old Butler College student named Philip Kahl, who followed the legendary jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery and his brothers around Indianapolis in the mid-1950's. The recordings were made at Indy's Turf Club in 1956. Limited edition world-wide pressing of 2000 hand-numbered copies on whiskey coloured 10" vinyl, for Record Store Day 2014.

This group with the brothers (Wes, Buddy and Monk) was known by Naptown jazz fans as The Montgomery-Johnson Quintet, (with fellow locals, drummer, Robert "Sonny" Johnson, and tenor saxophonist, Alonzo "Pookie" Johnson). On "Going Down to Big Mary's House", you'll also be treated to guest vocals from Duke Ellington alumni, Debbie Andrews.

Resonance first obtained these recordings in 2011 from Ann Montgomery (the widow of Buddy Montgomery). Ann came to Resonance with news Buddy had copies of these recordings plus never before published photos taken at The Turf Club. Resonance did direct transfers from the original quarter inch tape reels, re-mastering the music at 96kHz/24 bit.

Estas grabaciones fueron realizadas por un estudiante de 22 años del Butler College llamado Philip Kahl, que siguió al legendario guitarrista de jazz Wes Montgomery y a sus hermanos por Indianápolis a mediados de la década de 1950. Las grabaciones se realizaron en el Indy's Turf Club en 1956. Edición limitada a nivel mundial de 2000 copias numeradas a mano en vinilo de 10" de color whisky, para el Record Store Day 2014.

Este grupo con los hermanos (Wes, Buddy y Monk) era conocido por los aficionados al jazz de Naptown como The Montgomery-Johnson Quintet, (con sus compañeros locales, el batería, Robert "Sonny" Johnson, y el saxofonista tenor, Alonzo "Pookie" Johnson). En "Going Down to Big Mary's House", también se puede escuchar la voz invitada de la ex alumna de Duke Ellington, Debbie Andrews.

Resonance obtuvo estas grabaciones por primera vez en 2011 a través de Ann Montgomery (la viuda de Buddy Montgomery). Ann llegó a Resonance con la noticia de que Buddy tenía copias de estas grabaciones, además de fotos nunca antes publicadas tomadas en The Turf Club. Resonance hizo transferencias directas desde los carretes de cinta de cuarto de pulgada originales, remasterizando la música a 96kHz/24 bits.
