And of course:
“The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery” from January 26/28, 1960
As far as I know, Wes worked as a welder in his native Indianapolis during the daytime, gigged a regular weekly schedule in the evenings, while the Mrs raised his large family of children - in September 1959, Wes was discovered by Cannonball Adderley, after which he was quickly exposed to the wider jazz world, most especially in New York, and the explosive and endlessly inventive results can forever be heard on this record.
