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.
