Wes Montgomery • So Much Guitar!

Reviewby Scott Yanow

This album contains one of Wes Montgomery's finest recordings, a Riverside date that showcases the influential guitarist in a quintet with pianist Hank Jones, bassist Ron Carter, drummer Lex Humphries, and the congas of Ray Barretto. All eight performances are memorable in their own way, with "Cottontail," "I'm Just a Lucky So and So," and a brief unaccompanied "While We're Young" being high points.

Reseña de Scott Yanow

Este álbum contiene una de las mejores grabaciones de Wes Montgomery, una cita en Riverside que muestra al influyente guitarrista en un quinteto con el pianista Hank Jones, el bajista Ron Carter, el baterista Lex Humphries y las congas de Ray Barretto. Las ocho actuaciones son memorables a su manera, con "Cottontail", "I'm Just a Lucky So and So", y un breve "While We're Young" sin acompañamiento, como puntos culminantes.
