Jazz / Hard Bop / Soul Jazz / Guitar

This release includes two rare sessions led by West Montgomery in 1963 and 1965. The first date was recorded in New York on November 1963 and features the solid drumming of Montgomery's long-time contemporary Grady Tate as well as the tasteful playing of pianist Billy Taylor. The group is rounded out by bassist Ben Tucker and drummer Grady Tate with a special guest appearance by jazz vocal giant Joe Williams. An excellent studio date. The second group of tunes was recorded live during his triumphal European tour in the spring of 1965, with a completely different lineup. The four titles include the participation of the exceptional guest star, Clark Terry on trumpet, with accompaniment by a local rhythm section. A must have for all Wes Montgomery fans. Includes booklet with comprehensive liner notes.
Five SWINGING Stars. This wonderful, surprising disc is much more than is presented in the title. True, there is guitar wizard Wes Montgomery and the effusive jazz piano master Dr. Billy Taylor and his protean trio (Ben Tucker on bass and Grady Tate on drums): all in GREAT form. But there is also the nonpariel jazz/blues vocalist Joe Williams with a whopping 8 tracks all to himself with Wes and Billy in non-solo support but 'comping' superbly, and then Wes and trumpeter/flugelhornist Clark Terry bring a hot quintet to these proceedings with 4 bonus tracks of extended performances.

We expected Wes and Billy and we got more! Lonehill Jazz has stuffed alot of music on one disc for our listening pleasure and basically kept some of it a surprise. It's not until we flip the CD jewel box over and look at the back cover, as we get into listening mode, that the totality of it all is revealed. All of which makes this a real bargain for the jazz fan. Thank you, LoneHill Jazz!

There are many Pieces De Resistance from beginning to end but here's a few. I have played "Body and Soul" over and over since purchase, and it has Wes in solo all the way with some dazzling runs (omitting the bridge on the first run and the first half of the bridge on the second run, providing another satisfying slant on this classic which is different from his two previously recorded renditions, all in 2 satisfying minutes and some change-"hit the repeat button again, please"); Taylor's beautiful ballad "Freedom" has Dr. Bill all the way, waxing rhapsodic with two-handed block chords and dancing single lines; a RIVETING Joe Williams makes the most of his 8 tracks and is in great voice especially on "Let's Make the Most of a Beautiful Thing", a stupendous "Alone Together", and "All My Life". Most tracks to this point are relatively short and satisfying performances with the performers cutting quickly but deeply into each song.

Wes and Clark Terry then arrive on the scene with an impressive Dutch rhythm section in tow for three stupendous 8 minute performances, and one great 14 minute performance of Ellington's "In A Mellow Tone", recorded LIVE in Europe. Which is great because Wes is well-known for his 'jacked-up' "live" performances, as evidenced by Thelonious Monk's "Straight, No Chaser" and "Wes Got Rhythm" (a re-weaving of Monk's "Rhythm-a-ning.") and he and Clark are on fire, both in solo or 'comping', probably giving the Dutch rhythm section the most memorable rides of their musical lives at that point in their careers. In all, an enjoyable, eclectic CD with fabulous jazz performers and performances in clear remastered sound (but some may find Wes' early tracks sound a little fuzzy but it didn't bother me), plus informative liner notes. Highly recommended. Five SURPRISING Stars!!!
