Play of the Week – 3 by Wes

I can only say, Wes!! The first one I haven’t listened to enough, how tight he is with his brothers, Buddy and Monk.

Groove Yard, by the Montgomery Brothers

Far Wes – 1958  The title track and Hymn for Carl are especially fine. Notice the very interesting electric bass on this record, also by Monk Montgomery, not to mention the comping with Wes and Buddy.

 

And, my favorite of all time, Boss Guitar, featuring Wes’ partner Melvin Rhyne, organ, along with the legendary Jimmy Cobb, drums. Be sure to check out Dearly Beloved, and Days of Wine and Roses, but every track is a gem.
