CD DetailsSynopsis
Product Description Wes Montgomery began his incredible series of recordings for Riverside in the organ trio context that he employed on gigs in his native Indianapolis. After a series of acclaimed albums featuring pianists, Montgomery ended his Riverside run by reuniting with Hammond B-3 master Melvin Rhyne on several sessions. The first, Boss Guitar, featured Jimmy Cobb on drums, and the Miles Davis veteran (and future Montgomery working partner) inspired the guitarist and organist to their greatest recorded work together. Highlights include a cooking 6/8 version of "Besame Mucho," the funky Montgomery blues "Fried Pies," and Montgomery's dazzling showpiece "The Trick Bag," (each heard in both master and alternate takes). The best modern jazz classics are revisited in the Original Jazz Classics Remasters series. Each title in the series features 24-bit remastering, original AND new liner notes, fully restored artwork, and bonus tracks (when available). Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsGet this while available Blues Bro | Lakewood, Colorado USA | 09/28/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Another vote for Boss Guitar for the best Wes Montgomery record of all time. These remastered series are limited, and the sound is so much better than the regular CD that you wont believe it. This is essential listening." WAY too much organ. Paully Walnuts | South Florida | 07/24/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) " I love Wes's playing, but there are too many tracks with organ that overwhelms the sound of the guitar. On the first few tracks, the organ, honestly, sounds like it belongs in a circus. There are a few songs that redeem this album, like "Wine and Roses", so I would get it because The Man is playing, but "The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery" is a better choice. I gave it 4 stars because of, you guessed it, the annoying organ. "Sorry" to all the keyboard players who dig that aspect of this album. Hope this helps." Yes, it is boss guitar Anthony Cooper | Louisville, KY United States | 09/17/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "Does Wes Montgomery live up to the boastful title? That's the main question any review should answer. YES. Wes' playing is generally similar to his other jazz-era (vs pop-era) songs. He's jaw-dropping on the faster songs. Wes is good on the slower songs, though he tends to be too nice. "The Incredible Jazz Guitar" is a better album, but "Boss Guitar" should be in every fan's collection. The trio format works out fine. There's a good reason Grant Green made so many albums with organ - it's very compatible with guitar. Mel Rhyne gets to take the first solo in "Dearly Beloved" and in general provides solid playing. Jimmy Cobb is, as usual, fantastic."
