Wes Montgomery "Maximum Swing: The Unissued 1965 Half Note Recordings" (Mini-Documentary)

Order Now at resonancerecor...
"Maximum Swing: The Unissued 1965 Half Note Recordings" is the first official release of the complete previously unissued recordings from jazz guitar giant Wes Montgomery with the Wynton Kelly Trio at the famed Half Note jazz club in New York City in 1965 with drummer Jimmy Cobb and bassists Paul Chambers, Ron Carter, Herman Wright and Larry Ridley. Including over 2 hours from the original radio broadcasts with host Alan Grant, the limited-edition 3-LP 180-gram (and deluxe 2-CD) set will be mastered by Matthew Lutthans and come in a deluxe triple gatefold with an elaborate booklet containing previously unpublished photos taken at the Half Note by Raymond Ross; plus a new essay from acclaimed journalist and author Bill Milkowski; interviews with jazz legends Herbie Hancock and Ron Carter, who both recorded with Wes; guitar icons Bill Frisell and Mike Stern; plus bassist Marcus Miller, who is Wynton Kelly’s cousin! 2023 marks Wes Montgomery’s Centennial (born March 6, 1923), and this is Resonance’s 7th release of Wes Montgomery recordings in cooperation with the estate. Now Wes Montgomery fans can hear the rest of the music from the Half Note that was only broadcast on the radio nearly 60 years ago. Pressed by Le Vinylist.

Resonance Records has done so much for the Wes Montgomery catalogue in the past few years, ALL the releases have been excellent, looking forward to receiving my CD's soon.

Thank you for this wonderful project. This is some of the greatest music ever recorded by one of the giants of jazz and the guitar.
