    Wes Montgomery was born in in 1923 in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he would live for much of his life, although some of his childhood years were spent in Columbus, Ohio. He worked as a welder and was already a married man by the time he purchased his first six-string guitar, after hearing a Charlie Christian recording. He was entirely self-taught a...

    One night in the late 1950s, alto saxophonist Cannonball Adderleywas present at one Montgomery’s Indianapolis gigs. Adderley was so impressed that he persuaded Orrin Keepnews to fly out from New York to hear him play and ultimately sign him to Keepnews’ Riverside Records, whose roster included Adderley and other jazz stars like Bill Evans and Thelo...

    In 1960 Wes Montgomery recorded what many consider to be his finest studio album. The Incredible Jazz Guitar sees him accompanied by an A-list New York rhythm section: elegant pianist Tommy Flanagan had already appeared on Sonny Rollins’ Saxophone Colossus and John Coltrane’s Giant Steps by this point (both of which we included on our list of best ...

    In 1960 Montgomery placed second in the Metronome readers’ poll, won ‘Most Promising Instrumentalist’ in Billboard and won DownBeat Magazine’s ‘Talent Deserving Wider Recognition’ award. That year Riverside put together a recording session with a band of ‘poll-winners’. Led by Adderley, the all-star band also featured Wes, Victor Feldman on vibraph...

    Montgomery continued to record prolifically as a leader for Riverside through the early 1960s: albums like Movin’ Along, SO Much Guitar and Boss Guitar all place the guitarist with varying rhythm sections but are all excellent. In 1962 he made an album as co-leader with vibraphonist Milt Jackson. Nicknamed ‘Bags’, Jackson is most famous for his rol...

    In 1964 Wes moved from Riverside to Verve, a bigger label where his releases would be overseen by legendary producer Creed Taylor, who was more business-minded, less purist, than Keepnews. While his Riverside releases were nearly all relatively spontaneous small-group jazz affairs, Verve now tried to sell him more aggressively, with the guitarist p...

    This 1965 live albumfrom New York saw Wes return to the small group jazz setting of his early career. Arguably Wes’ best-loved record, it features him in the company of Wynton Kelly’s piano trio, with Paul Chambers on bass and Jimmy Cobb on drums. This all-time great rhythm section had worked as part of Miles Davis’ quintet and had also featured on...

    Another live concert, this double album was recorded in 1965 but remained unreleased until 2017. With Harold Mabern on piano, Arthur Harper on bass and Jimmy Lovelace on drums, it provides a welcome document of Montgomery’s working band from the time. Johnny Griffin also guests on a few tracks. It’s interesting to compare it with the Half Note reco...

    Wes had often worked with organist Melvin Rhyne – Boss Guitar is another great organ record, as well as the aforementioned Dynamic New Sound – but in 1966 Creed Taylor paired him with Jimmy Smith. Smith was a much bigger name than Rhyne: he is credited with popularising the Hammond B-3 as a jazz instrument and, in fact, him and Wes were two of Verv...

    The final chapter of Wes Montgomery’s recording career began when he left Verve to sign for A&M. These radio-friendly releases featured him playing familiar tunes: on Road Song we hear ‘Scarborough Fair’ ‘Greensleeves’, ‘Fly Me To The Moon’ and ‘Yesterday’, with orchestral backings arranged by Don Sebesky. There’s little in the way of jazz improvis...
