Wes Montgomery – The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery
The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery is an album by the American jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery. Most of its tracks exemplify two of Montgomery’s distinguishing techniques: “thumb picking” and the use of octaves.
In 2017, the album was selected for the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”.
