Free Music Notes for The Complete Riverside Recordings

Free Music Review: Only problem is with the packaging
Hit: 4 Stars

I've been a Wes Fan for close to 15 years. I'm a jazz guitarist, and Wes inspired me to play. So, when I heard that Mosaic records was discontinuing this compilation - and having only owned 5 of Wes' 12 Riverside ablums, I decided to purchase this. My primary motivation relates to Concord Records purchasing the rights to Fantasy Records, which owned the rights to Wes' music. For years, I had received catalogs from both Fantasy and Concord; in 1998, both reissue programs were strong, and I was immediately aware of each company's instinct for preservaton when I scanned through their respective catalogs. However, over the years, Concord's catalog dwindled to next to nothing, while Fantasy (emboldened, to be sure, by the royalities from Creedence Clearwater Revival's recordings) remained strong. Now, with Concord purchasing Fantasy two years ago, I'm starting to see "out of print" next to my favorite artists' Riverside, Prestige, and Milestone records. So, I picked up this boxed set, having already owned "Boss Guitar, "So Much Guitar", "Bags Meets Wes", "Full House", and "Wes Montgomery Trio". As with the reissues of the individual albums, Riverside places alternate takes after the master on these discs. Perhaps a more organized approach would have been to reserve the alternate takes for their OWN cd in the set. This would have solved the problem of continuity, mentioned by others on this page. However, what I have not seen mentioned, and what is INEXCUSABLE ON RIVERSIDE'S PART, IS THAT THE ORIGINAL LINER NOTES TO EACH ALBUM ARE NOT INCLUDED. An album is more than great music. I could easily give this boxed set 5 stars for content, because Wes was a genius. By virtue of being an artifact, an album becomes a window into another time. Riverside has done us a great service by reissuing this incredible oevure. However, if you are a fan of preservation like me, please keep these deletions in mind.

The Complete Riverside Recordings Poster

Guitarist Wes Montgomery recorded for Riverside from 1959 to 1963, going in that time from an obscure Indianapolis musician to the most celebrated guitarist in jazz. All the reasons for that rise are here, in a 12-CD box that includes 49 previously unreleased and alternate takes. The settings range from the organ trios with which Montgomery often worked to tracks with string accompaniment, but the music is all linked by the guitarist's highly original approach, using thumb picking and frequent octave runs to put his signature on blues, ballads, and bop tunes. Among the gems are live recordings of a quintet that includes the accelerated tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin and bassist Paul Chambers, as well as the studio recordings where Montgomery matches talents with Milt Jackson and the fine pianists Tommy Flanagan and Hank Jones. --Stuart Broomer
