Wes Montgomery • Beginnings

Beginnings es una compilación de temas selectos de Wes Montgomery por The Blue Note durante los años 1957 a 1959, y como los músicos acompañantes de Montgomery no fueron los mismos en esos tres años, se escucharán temas de distintas alineaciones a lo largo del compilado. Ubicado como uno de los sucesores más importantes de Charlie Christian, Wes Motgomery hizo una variación con un estilo característico y empleó sus propias técnicas con la guitarra, por ejemplo, tocar con el pulgar en lugar de con púa.

Su música no se enfoca mucho en improvisaciones, sino que mantiene ciertas rítmicas fijas y casi siempre realza una tendencia a lo melódico, ya sea desde su propia guitarra, o dejando lugar para el saxofón, vibráfono o piano. Begininngs es un compilado ideal si se quiere empezar a escuchar la obra de este guitarrista, o recorrer de forma muy agradable los mejores y más suaves territorios del Hard Bop, género del cual Wes debe citarse como un importante referente, pero más que nada en cuanto a la guitarra jazística.

Beginnings is a compilation of selected tracks by Wes Montgomery for The Blue Note during the years 1957 to 1959, and since Montgomery's accompanists were not the same in those three years, you will hear tracks from different line-ups throughout the compilation. Positioned as one of Charlie Christian's most important successors, Wes Motgomery made a variation with a characteristic style and employed his own techniques with the guitar, for example, playing with his thumb instead of a pick.

His music does not focus much on improvisation, but maintains certain fixed rhythms and almost always enhances a tendency towards the melodic, either from his own guitar, or leaving room for the saxophone, vibraphone or piano. Begininngs is an ideal compilation if you want to start listening to the work of this guitarist, or to travel in a very pleasant way through the best and softest territories of Hard Bop, a genre of which Wes should be cited as an important reference, but more than anything else in terms of the Jazzy guitar.
