Free Music Review: Just another collection
Hit: 2 Stars
Yet another collection of Wes Montgomery. This one is oddly presented as a forerunner to acid jazz.
It is unfortunate that much of Wes Montgomery's recording was done at time when some record producers thought jazz had to be orchestrated in order to sell. What you get is an orchestra with a featured jazz soloist. That is unfortunate, because no matter how good the soloist is, the recording is about the orchestra, the orchestration or, in the case of Don Sebesky, the arranger.
This recording features Wes with orchestras headed by Sebesky and jazz man Oliver Nelson. Both groups include top-flight jazz talent. With Nelson you get a much better feel for the music. But it's still about the orchestration. There are a precious few cuts on this CD from Wes Montgomery in a small group.
Jazz in a large ensemble can be enjoyable, it can swing and groove. This CD is a fine example. But if you enjoy jazz and are interested in Wes Montgomery ignore the collections, check out "Smokin at the Half Note". It's a great recording, minor classic in it's way, and shows Montgomery at his best.
