Wes Montgomery Discography 1964-1968

Wes Montgomery’s commercial potential was realized starting in 1964 when, over the next four years, he made many recordings for the Verve and A&M labels, all produced by Creed Taylor. These often involved backing by big bands and strings. Many pop hits of the 1960s were included in the repertoire and top arrangers were enlisted to provide charts including Don Sebesky, Johnny Pate, Oliver Nelson, Claus Ogerman and Eumir Deodato.

These recordings pose some problems for the discographer that I have tried my best to address in an understandable fashion:

  1. Many of the tracks fade out leading to variable timings.
  2. Many of the tracks are edited on some, but not all issues.
  3. Personnel are often collective over more than one session and inaccurate in many sources.
  4. Certain small group tracks from this period were issued with and without dubbed in, unidentified strings and horns.
  5. As you will see, these recordings were reissued MANY times because of their artistic and commercial significance. I have tried my best to include most, but probably not all of the LP and CD albums that continue to be released.

Also notable during this period are a number of live recordings that Montgomery made both in the U.S.A. and Europe, some documented on video. These include the highly regarded Smokin’ at the Half Note sessions with the Wynton Kelly trio. Sadly, the guitarist died of a heart attack on June 15, 1968 ending a relatively short but incredibly productive career.

The Ruppli Verve Discography and the liner notes to Verve V/V6 8610 indicate this session was recorded on November 16, 1964 and that “Theodora” was recorded on November 11, 1964. The information shown comes from the CD reissue Verve 314 521 433-2.

It is not known which of the two tubists performed on each session or if they perform together.

Wes Montgomery is the only soloist on all tracks.

“Movin’ Wes, Part 1” is a blues but Part 2 is not. They are two independent pieces sharing the same title

Boris Rose recording of a WABC-FM broadcast. One source indicates these tracks were recorded on February 12, 1965 which seems unlikely since on that date, Montgomery appeared at The Half Note with a different accompanying trio. The same source indicates the existence of the unissued title.

Track e has not been auditioned.

Timings for the issued tracks shown include applause.

No label is indicated on the jacket or disc of the LP titled Stretching Out Live in ’65. The disc labels show J100 which is presumably a catalog number. Discogs.com indicates the LP is a Canadian issue.

I am not absolutely sure when Terry is playing trumpet and when he is playing flugelhorn.

This is a very informal session filmed in a studio with no audience present. The timings shown only represent musical content. There is much dialog during the video.

Track a has no line and is simply improvisations on the blues in the key of F-major. It is listed as "I Love Blues." Track b begins at the bridge. On track c, Montgomery explains the chords of the tune to Pim Jacobs. Track d is an incomplete initial attempt at a slow tempo. Tracks c and d are listed as a single entity entitled "‘Love Affair’ Rehearsal."

Discogs.com indicates these performances were filmed on April 28, 1965 in Amersfoort, The Netherlands, but on that date, Montgomery was in Germany.

This is a rehearsal for the concert on April 30, 1965 (see next session) that was filmed. The timings shown reflect music only and do not include dialog among the musicians.

Jazz line D 78078 includes both an LP (1965-04-30) and Blu-ray (1965-04-28). King KKJ 1049 includes both a CD (1965-04-30) and Blu-ray (1965-04-28).

Hans Koller is incorrectly listed as playing tenor saxophone on the DVD. He is heard only on alto saxophone.

Track b is performed by the rhythm section only. Johnny Griffin is the only saxophonist on track c.

Harmonically, "Blue Grass" is similar but not identical to the standard "Fine and Dandy."

Solos:
a - Wes Montgomery (g) 128 bars (4 choruses); Wes Montgomery (g) coda 16 bars
b - Wynton Kelly (p) rubato intro; Wes Montgomery (g) very close to melody
c - Wes Montgomery (g); Wynton Kelly (p); Wes Montgomery (g) to fadeout
d - Wes Montgomery (g); Wynton Kelly (p) with Alan Grant sign off; Wes Montgomery (g) to fade out

This source gives a recording date of June 25, 1965.

Tracks c and d are the same performance edited differently. Both are incomplete with rather crude edits. Track d includes Alan Grant’s announcement and sign off.

On tracks a and b, unidentified woodwinds and brass recorded at a later date, are dubbed in on some issues (probably those titled Willow Weep for Me - all issues have not been auditioned). Hip-O CD B0015613-02 includes both the overdubbed and original versions. Also on these tracks, Montgomery employs an artificial vibrato effect.

Some issues contain a longer (9:08) version of “Willow Weep for Me” which includes Alan Grant’s announcements and dialog with Montgomery but is otherwise identical to the 7:45 version and contains no overdubs.

Montgomery employs an artificial vibrato effect on track a.

The issued track b has an obvious edit at the end of Kelly’s solo and omits Alan Grant’s sign off. It fades out during the final theme statement and also omits Montgomery’s coda vamp. The “complete” version (thanks to Oliver Dunskus) is 8:39 in duration and includes the sign off and part of Montgomery’s coda vamp (18 bars to fadeout).

The personnel is collective over both Goin’ Out of My Head sessions.

In most sources, Candido is listed as playing congas but no conga drums are audible on either track. Presumably, he is responsible for the percussion heard on both titles.

Wes Montgomery is the only soloist on both tracks.

Candido Camero de Guerra (per) on f.

Track f is incorrectly listed as “O Morro” on most issues.

Track g is performed by guitar, piano, bass and drums only. No conga is audible on any of the tracks. Percussion is heard on track f, presumably supplied by Candido.

Except for a brief drum solo on track c, Wes Montgomery is the only soloist on all tracks.

Hip-O CDB0015613-02 — Movin': The Complete Verve Recordings Of Wes Montgomery   (2011)

Ray Barretto (cng) on a-c, f, (bel) on d.

Solos:
a - Wes Montgomery (g) 64 bars (2 choruses); Jimmy Smith (or) 104 bars (3.25 choruses)
b - Wes Montgomery (g) 64 bars (2 choruses); Jimmy Smith (or) 64 bars (2 choruses)
c - Jimmy Smith (or); Wes Montgomery (g) entering at bridge
d - Wes Montgomery (g); Jimmy Smith (or)
e - Wes Montgomery (g)
f - Wes Montgomery (g); Jimmy Smith (or)
g - Wes Montgomery (g); Jimmy Smith (or); Wes Montgomery (g) 12-bar (1 chorus) exchanges with Smith
h - Wes Montgomery (g); Jimmy Smith (or)

Track b is referred to as an “alternate” on some issues. It differs from track a in that it is taken at a somewhat slower tempo and Smith takes a shorter solo.

“OGD” (“Road Song”) is a 32-bar, AABA structure. But on on track a, Smith’s third chorus is 40 bars long instead of 32 because he plays 3 A-sections before the bridge. This could have been a mental lapse or an editing error. Nonetheless, track a is the master take.
