LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Wes Montgomery appeared as leader or co-leader on a dozen Riverside albums, in a wide variety of formats ranging from organ trios to one with full string orchestra. Some of the most rewarding simply placed him in a studio with a superior rhythm section and let him deal with a mixture of ballads, blues, and swingers. This album, his fourth for the label, is a notable example of this straightforward approach. It features the flawless support of Ron Carter (in one of his very first sessions) and Hank Jones, and includes Montgomery's only entirely unaccompanied recording: "While We're Young."
Track listing:Twisted Blues, Cotton Tail, I Wish I Knew, I'm Just a Lucky So and So, Repetition, Somethin' Like Bags, While We're Young, One for My Baby (And One More for the Road)
