Wes Montgomery's Bumpin' captures the legendary guitarist at his peak, recorded at the renowned Van Gelder Studios in May 1965. This album showcases Montgomery's distinctive thumb-picking technique and sophisticated harmonic approach through a carefully curated selection of compositions from jazz luminaries including Dizzy Gillespie and Johnny Mandel, alongside Montgomery's own compelling original material.
Standout tracks like "Tear It Down," "Mi Cosa," and the title cut "Bumpin'" demonstrate Montgomery's ability to deliver focused, purposeful performances without unnecessary embellishment. This Verve Acoustic Sounds Series reissue presents the album with exceptional fidelity, transferred from the original analog tapes and pressed on audiophile-quality 180-gram vinyl, making it an essential addition for jazz collectors and Montgomery enthusiasts alike.
