Our Take

WES MONTGOMERY: The Ndr Hamburg Studio Recordings

In the jazz world, there are legends and then there is Wes Montgomery. Known for his smooth guitar-playing skills and unparalleled sense of swing, Montgomery's albums are like a warm hug on a cold day. And his latest release, The Ndr Hamburg Studio Recordings, is no exception.

Recorded live at the Ndr Hamburg Studio, this album captures Montgomery in all his glory. From the moment the first notes hit your ears, you can't help but be transported to a smoky jazz club in the 1960s, where Montgomery's guitar work would have been the talk of the town.

The standout track on this album has to be "West Coast Blues", where Montgomery's fingers dance across the strings with effortless precision. It's impossible not to tap your foot along to the infectious rhythm and nod your head in approval.

But it's not all just smoky jazz clubs and smooth guitar licks. Montgomery also shows his versatility on tracks like "Four on Six", where he effortlessly switches between hard-hitting chords and melodic solos.

Overall, The Ndr Hamburg Studio Recordings is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast. Wes Montgomery's talent is undeniable, and this album is a testament to his legacy. So grab a glass of whiskey, sit back, and let the smooth sounds of Montgomery's guitar wash over you. You won't regret it.
