Wes Montgomery Boss Guitar - Kitchen Listening

Wes Montgomery. One of my favorite jazz guitar players. Great kitchen listening. I also played some of his albums in our backyard sunroom too.

I played this group of his wonderful guitars albums this afternoon. 4 albums 1961-66. 

I had it on when the installers were putting in our new range hood. I wonder what they thought of the music. Probably didn't pay attention to any of it. Just background noise. But to me it was bliss. I love the jazz guitar playing of Wes Montgomery. The albums I played were all from my collection.

I saw him perform at a small club in April 1968 shortly before he died of a heart attack at age 45. I was 16. He was opening up for some rock and blues bands.
