Wes Montgomery - Full House

If you ever doubted Wes Montgomery's powers as a live performer, Full House will set your ears straight. Recorded in 1962 in front of a lucky live audience, this is Wes unleashed - no studio tricks, no second takes, just raw, elegant fire. His solos aren't just extended - they breathe, they climb, they seduce. You can almost hear the guitar blushing.But wait - Wes didn't just bring his A-game, he brought the A-team. Enter Johnny Griffin, aka 'The Little Giant,' who rips into his tenor sax with the ferocity of a caffeinated tornado. His solos on 'Cariba' and 'Blue 'n' Boogie' aren't just impressive - they're straight-up volcanic. You don't listen to Griffin - you brace yourself for him.And then there's the rhythm section. Oh, just your average trio of jazz legends: Jimmy Cobb (yes, that Jimmy Cobb from Kind of Blue) driving the drums, Paul Chambers holding it down on bass like the heartbeat of heaven, and Wynton Kelly on piano with a touch so smooth it should be illegal. This isn't just a rhythm section - it's a Rolls Royce of rhythm.We've given this timeless album the full Analogue Productions treatment: Mastering by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at Acoustech Mastering, double LP cut at 45 RPM and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings!
