Wes Montgomery is a huge influence on the world of guitar players. He not only inspired countless Jazz Guitar Greats like John Scofield and Pat Metheny but the world of Rock Guitar as well. Case in point Bachman-Turner Overdrive's Randy Bachman. Consider some of the more Jazzy sections of the BTO catalog. I hear Wes Montgomery in every lick from "Looking Out For Number 1". Download this great remastered recording from 1965 and enjoy some great Jazz guitar for your Jazz On Sunday Morning.

You know if Rosebud picks a Jazz show your in for real melodies instead of experimental Jazz. As she has pointed out she's "not into Jazz where it sounds as if every musician on stage is playing a different song" (LOL). Wes Montgomery and The NDR Crew are jamming some great Big Band era influenced Jazz. It's a shame this recording is only 30 minutes long because this is a great rehearsal. That's right this was actually the rehearsal for the show! Wes Montgomery's smooth playing style had to be a big influence on Pat Metheny and countless others in Jazz today.
