Review: Released in 1960 on Riverside, The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery was recorded in just two days at Reeves Sound Studios in New York City. With a small group featuring Tommy Flanagan on piano, Percy Heath on bass and Albert Heath on drums, this album showcases Montgomery's groundbreaking thumb-picking technique and use of octaves. Praised as the pinnacle of his studio work, the album was a game-changer on the US jazz scene and cemented Wes Montgomery as one of the era's most influential guitarists.
