Wes Montgomery - The Breeze And I free for downloading

the king of guitar

I would like to point out, but correct me if I am wrong, that the original composer is just Ernesto Lecuona, the Cuban. I am a fan of his. This track is from the Andalucia Suite. Words were added for a US version, which may be Stillman's - dunno - but there is no singing in this, so there are no co-composing rights. This claim about Stillman should have been mentioned on the album liner notes.

Don't know why Al Stillman is mentioned here as composer since there are no lyrics; on my sheet music it has "Words by Al Stillman". I'll keep looking for a version with the words sung...

That is also my preference. I would suggest if you are not already, transcribe some of his solos by yourself (as in work the notes out etc without just downloading a transcription from the net) if you have time. I did that for about 3 solos when I was young and that stuff still sticks with me, mainly his melodic intention, swing and linear structure. Brilliant jazz guitarist and musician. Good luck with your music!

Its not so much the fingers...but the lightning fast thought process he possesses.

This trio combination has a marvelous mix of rock steady tempo, swing, space, and chops.  This is great organ trio counterpart to the Oscar Peterson trio of the same era: OP, Herb Ellis, Ray Brown.

i would much rather listen to Wes Montgomery than all the shredder guitarists, those shredders do my head in, Wes Montgomery is the perfect guitarist

The Greatest!!!

diggin this track!

1.24-1.26 - one of his signature licks, heard on "Impressions" too. There is never enough Wes
