Widely regarded as the pinnacle of his career, The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery is a landmark recording in jazz history. Captured at Reeves Sound Studios in New York City in January 1960, the album showcases Montgomery's singular technique — famously playing with his thumb rather than a pick — resulting in a warm, mellow tone that set him apart from any guitarist of his era. So significant is this record that it was inducted into the National Library of Congress' National Recording Registry in 2017.
This reissue, part of the celebrated Original Jazz Classics series, brings together an exceptional supporting cast including pianist Tommy Flanagan and bassist Percy Heath, making for a truly inspired session. The album has been mastered all-analog (AAA) from the original stereo tape by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio and pressed at RTI, and is presented in a Stoughton Tip-On Jacket — making this an exceptional way to experience one of jazz's most beloved and enduring recordings.
