Artist:  Wes Montgomery

Title:  The Wes Montgomery Trio - A Dynamic New Sound

Date:  1959

Label:  Fantasy / Riverside OJC-034

Art Direction/Cover Art:  Jules Maidoff, Paul Bacon

Notes:  Recorded over two days in October 1959, this is a great selection of material running from Mork to Ellington and a few original thrown in the mix as well. Montgomery's chording style fits in well with the organ and drum backdrop and it may not be his strongest outing it is still well worth the price of admission. Wonderful jacket art and liner notes by producer Orrin Keepnews make for a nice album. The CD release has a few extra cuts (different takes of Satin Doll and Missile Blues). Any Wes is good Wes...
