So Much Guitar! in Bloomington, MN

One of
Wes Montgomery
's finest recordings, a
Riverside
date that showcases the influential guitarist in a quintet with pianist
Hank Jones
, bassist
Ron Carter
, drummer
Lex Humphries
, and the congas of
Ray Barretto
. All eight performances are memorable in their own way, with
"Cottontail,"
"I'm Just a Lucky So and So,"
and a brief unaccompanied
"While We're Young"
being high points. ~ Scott Yanow
