Wes Montgomery: In the Beginning

[fasstrack]

Resonance records just released or is about to release In the Beginning, a compilation of Wes Montgomery performances from 1949-57. Mostly from Naptown, but included is a road trip with Hamp from '49 where Wes is captured accompanying a singer (Hamp is not on it). They are smoking, and even have a cut of a jam session with Wes on Fender bass including a solo.

Enjoy!

i think that you mean the other upcoming live release. In the Beginning was released a few months ago, and other than 2-3 tunes of just wes and percussion, In the Beginning is uneventful.

OK. Cool.

The LP was postponed due to production issues. I've been told by a local record store that it is to be released on Black Friday but I have doubts as to whether that is true or not.

i was wondering why there was hardly anything on google about it when i looked today. am looking forward to Ruby, My Dear. and it's good that there's no sax.
