Wes Montgomery - The History Of 2LP 72 w Movin' Along LP 60 w Full House LP 62 w March 6, 1925 - June 15, 1968 LP 68 w A Day In The Life LP 67 w Down Here On The Ground LP 68 w Jazz Masters #14 CD 94


 I guess it was on a business trip where I was listening to a radio station that was primarily focused on playing the music of Wes as main content with a few others that got me to start grabbin' vinyl when I used to go to record stores and even had to take the dish soap out to clean off mold from the fourth one down that must have came out right after he died so early having the dates on it.  Per Discogs:  

Real Name: John Leslie Montgomery   Profile: American jazz guitarist.

Born: 6 March 1923 in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.

Died: 15 June 1968 (sudden heart attack) in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA (aged 45).

Wes is known for the use of his thumb rather than a plectrum; his trademark use of octaves in both melody and improvisation; his highly original melodic and rhythmic imagination.

Brother of the pianist and vibraphonist Buddy Montgomery (1930–2009), and of the bassist Monk Montgomery (1921–1982).
