Hi All

Just finished reading Adrian Ingham's biog of Wes. I own very little
of Wes's stuff and wondered which recordings I should get first. So
far, I have Bumpin' (love Tear It Down on that one), the Verve Masters
compilation and a recent repackaged issue of his early stuff with
Hamp's band. I have ordered The Incredible Jazz Guitar from Amazon,
but what else should I get to ensure I've heard the best of his stuff?

Cheers

Max

Hi Max,

Besides what you've listed I really like (in no particular order):

Smokin' at the Half Note with the Wynton Kelly Trio
Far Wes
Groove Yard (The Montgomery Brothers)
So Much Guitar - has one of his best recorded jazz guitar tone IMO.

John

Full House, Smokin at the half note and every others group that he is
playin on.
You should be forewarned--this music will blow your mind. Have fun . Ken

For my money the best are the Incredible Jazz Guitar, Boss Guitar and
one album of him with his brothers.

Get everything he did on the Riverside label That IMO was his best stuff!
