Wes Montgomery • The Alternative Wes Montgomery

 

 



Review
by Scott Yanow
This 1982 two-LP set 14 previously unissued alternate takes of Wes Montgomery recordings from his days on Riverside.
This attractive two-fer does give listeners a strong overview of the great guitarist's early recordings, including numbers with tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin, an organ trio with Mel Rhyne, a collaboration with vibraphonist Milt Jackson, meetings with his musical brothers Buddy and Monk, three quintet selections with James Clay and Victor Feldman, and an alternate version of "Tune Up" on which Montgomery is heard with a string section.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Este doble LP de 1982 contiene 14 tomas alternativas inéditas de grabaciones de Wes Montgomery de su época en Riverside.
Este atractivo doble disco ofrece a los oyentes una sólida visión general de las primeras grabaciones del gran guitarrista, incluyendo números con el saxofonista tenor Johnny Griffin, un trío de órgano con Mel Rhyne, una colaboración con el vibrafonista Milt Jackson, reuniones con sus hermanos musicales Buddy y Monk, tres selecciones de quinteto con James Clay y Victor Feldman, y una versión alternativa de "Tune Up" en la que se escucha a Montgomery con una sección de cuerda.
