Product Details

Recorded in 1965, Bumpin' marks the moment Wes Montgomery's singular octave-chord technique found its widest audience without sacrificing any of the harmonic sophistication that made him the most influential jazz guitarist of his generation. Montgomery had already earned the reverence of players like Pat Martino and George Benson, and this orchestral setting proved his phrasing could hold its own against a full string arrangement while remaining unmistakably, irreducibly his.

Wes Montgomery's first album to reach the Billboard charts, Bumpin' showcases his exceptional command of the guitar with the support of an orchestra arranged and conducted by Don Sebesky. The rhythm section of Roger Kellaway (piano), Bob Cranshaw (bass) and Grady Tate (drums) add fire to and drive the orchestra. With a top-notch selection of compositions from Dizzy Gillespie, Johnny Mandel, John Francis Burke, and Montgomery himself, Bumpin' takes the listener on a majestic journey each time it spins. Verve Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
