WES MONTGOMERY - MOVIN' WES (LP)

Wes Montgomery Movin' Wes on LP

Wes Montgomery demonstrates on his 1964 Verve debut album, Movin’ Wes, just what fabulous sounds he coaxes from his instrument, no matter how he gets it done. Wes is accompanied here by a 12-piece mini-big band consisting of multi-reed man Jerome Richardson, a trumpet section consisting of Clark Terry and Basie veterans Ernie Royal and Snooky Young, trombonists Urbie Green and Jimmy Cleveland and a rhythm section of pianist Bobby Scott, bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Grady Tate. Wes shines like a diamond on the show tunes “People” and “Matchmaker,” moody Ellington chestnut “Caravan” and a handful of originals, forever reversing the old proverb: It ain’t the way you do it, it’s what you do.
