Об альбоме (сборнике)
A dazzling display of the unorthodox technique & emotional power that combined to make Montgomery a literally “incredible” artist. Ever since its initial release in 1960, this album has been a consensus choice of musicians, critics, & knowledgeable listeners as a matchless example of the talents of 1 of the finest jazz instrumentalists of all times.
SA-CD.net review by muzikman
Wes Montgomery’s 2nd album The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery (released in 1960) is an extraordinarily durable album that stands today as a monumental achievement of jazz guitar genius. It comes as no surprise to me that Fantasy chose this particular album for their SACD reissue series.
Montgomery was self-taught, which makes his artistry that much more incredible & precious. Although all 6 tracks are equally superb, it was evident to me that the 1st 2 compositions really set the pace for the entire album. Fluid 6-string workouts such as “Airegin” & “D-Natural Blues” put his rare talent into a category all by itself. Personally, Montgomery reminded me of 1 of my all time favorites Joe Pass, not because of his style but for the effortless precision of every note he produced. His accompaniment was outstanding as well; Tommy Flanagan (piano), Percy Heath (bass) & Albert “Tootie” Heath (drums) were a valuable compliment to the singularity of his master guitar work.
I think its obvious now to those audiophiles that purchase music in this format what the difference is. The SACD offers clear & crisp separation of each instrument, which is extremely important when listening to a good jazz recording, as far as I am concerned. Whoever developed the SACD must have been a true appreciator of great jazz music.
