1	Wes Montgomery's Finest Hour (1964) more music like this by Wes Montgomery As part of the Finest Hour series from Verve, guitarist Wes Montgomery is spotlighted on 16 tracks recorded between 1964 and his death in 1968. These sessions highlight the widely accepted jazz-pop combination he achieved on these Verve and A&M releases, which followed a four-year stint on Riverside where he attracted a limited, mainly jazz ... see all copies from $3.02! new only from $7.06!
2	Tequila (1966) more music like this by Wes Montgomery On two of the songs included on Tequila, "Tequila" and "The Thumb," Wes Montgomery had an opportunity to jam a bit while backed just by bassist Ron Carter, drummer Grady Tate and the congas of Ray Barretto. The other six selections utilize a string section arranged by Claus Ogerman but, even with a throwaway version of "What the World Needs Now ... see all copies from $8.75! new only from $9.13!
3	Straight Ahead [Fuel 2000 Bonus Track] (1999) more music like this by Brian Auger's Oblivion Express see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
4	Classic Jazz: Jazz Legends [Single Disc] (2002) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.58!
5	Verve Jazz Masters 14 (1964) more music like this by Wes Montgomery Shedding the temptation of bop purist revisionism that creeps into most assessments of Wes Montgomery, this Jazz Masters volume gives newcomers a good cross-section of his Verve recordings, the orchestral Wes along with the small-group Wes. The sequencing, though out of chronological order, is quite clever and musical. Someone who has never heard ... see all copies from $8.65! new only from $8.65!
6	A Man and His Music (2004) more music like this by Claus Ogerman There are plenty of jazz fans who can't stand the lush and lazy sentimentality of arranger Claus Ogerman. They think he's ruined it for every artist he's worked with -- Frank Sinatra and Diana Krall to name two -- but they always seem to ignore that he was an integral part of at least one accepted classic, Antonio Carlos Jobim's Wave. He's also ... see all copies from $21.12! new only from $21.12!
7	The Power Trio: Live in Chicago (2003) more music like this by Larry Coryell Larry Coryell has ventured down many musical paths, but his soul belongs to jazz. These freewheeling excerpts from three live sets at the Jazz Showcase in Chicago find the guitarist at the top of his game, accompanied by an intuitive rhythm section, bassist Larry Gray and drummer Paul Wertico. The opener is a startling "Autumn Leaves," an ... see all copies from $13.06! new only from $13.06!
8	Guitar Music for Small Rooms, Vol. 2 (2001) more music like this by Various Artists This Warner Canada collection picks up where the first volume left off, gathering smooth acoustic and electric guitar instrumentals from a variety of genres for an ultra-mellow listen. The mild bossa nova phrasing of Eric Clapton's "Reptile" kicks things lightly off, followed by some typically talented stuff from well-known axemen like Santana, ... see all copies from $15.99! new only from $17.74!
9	Jazz Club: Jazz for the Road (2007) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $4.14! new only from $4.14!
10	Cool Jazz [Universal Special Products] (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Universal's straightforwardly named Cool Jazz is a no-frills collection that features nine tracks by some of the style's stars, including Charlie Parker's "Now's the Time," Wes Montgomery's "Bumpin' on Sunset," and Count Basie's "Softly With Feeling." These songs, along with Gerry Mulligan's "Sweet and Lovely" and Oscar Peterson's "West Coast ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
11 view cover	Bumpin' on Sunset (2003) more music like this by Dylan Cramer For this potentially intriguing outing, altoist Dylan Cramer performs 11 songs that he enjoys, regardless of their idiom. Cramer and his quartet are featured on a pair of Wes Montgomery tunes, two movie themes, Carl Perkins' "Groove Yard," and numbers by Santana, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and Stevie Wonder. Some of the music is easy listening with Ron ... see all copies from $14.37! new only from $14.37!
12 view cover	Talkin' Verve: Roots of Acid Jazz (1964) more music like this by Wes Montgomery The title of this compilation tries to make Montgomery viable for a younger generation, but it's not exactly "acid jazz." Rather, it's an anthology of some of Montgomery's better pop- and soul-oriented material from the mid-'60s. The 16 tracks show Montgomery in both orchestral and small combo settings, a few cuts taken from his collaborations ... see all copies from $8.92! new only from $8.92!
13 view cover	The Best of Brian Auger's Oblivion Express [Polygram] (1996) more music like this by Brian Auger's Oblivion Express Keyboard player Brian Auger's various Oblivion Express lineups between 1971 and 1975 produced timely music reminiscent of such other progressive rock and jazz-rock fusion performers of the time as the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, and (especially when tenor Alex Ligertwood was singing) Traffic, among others. (Sometimes, the ... see all copies from $47.83!
14 view cover	Compact Jazz: Wes Montgomery (1987) more music like this by Wes Montgomery While many jazz purists have lambasted Montgomery and Verve for the crossover success the guitarist achieved during the latter half of the '60s, the sides themselves are actually quite good. Sure, Montgomery did concede the occasional pop cover ("California Dreaming"), but he always played his best, regardless. And then there are the many fine ... see all copies from $4.95!
15 view cover	Straight Ahead (1974) more music like this by Brian Auger's Oblivion Express see all copies from $39.99! new only from $39.99!
16 view cover	Complete Live Oblivion (1995) more music like this by Brian Auger's Oblivion Express As a retrospective collection, this two-disc set provides an excellent introduction to the Oblivion Express's music of the early '70s. Brian Auger's distinctive organ and percussive electric piano attack lead the way, defining the group's sound. Guitarist Jack Mills may lean a little too heavily on the wah-wah effect popular at the time, and Alex ... see all copies from $95.69! new only from $95.69!
17 view cover	Live Oblivion, Vol. 1 [Bonus Tracks] (2002) more music like this by Brian Auger's Oblivion Express When it was released at the end of 1974, this album seemed pretty redundant to fans of Brian Auger's band. Two of the four songs had just been released in superior studio versions a few months earlier, and the two other selections from Second Wind had little new to offer over their studio versions. In retrospect, the music is good, but this record ... see all copies from $18.00! new only from $18.00!
18 view cover	Definitely What! (1968) more music like this by Brian Auger & the Trinity This was Brian Auger's proper solo debut album. It's billed to Brian Auger & the Trinity, but Julie Driscoll, who sang with Brian Auger & the Trinity on the act's most popular and best late-'60s recordings, is not present. Auger dominates the record not just with his organ, but also as composer of most of the original material, and as the vocalist ... see all copies from $30.00! new only from $62.19!
19	Just Walkin' (1965) more music like this by Wes Montgomery Now hard to find, this posthumous 1971 LP gave Wes Montgomery fanatics eight previously unreleased selections from the guitarist's Verve period, all worth cherishing. Though the discographical annotations are very sketchy, it isn't hard to deduce where these tracks came from. Four of the eight are from the Tequila sessions, including an entirely ... see all copies from $47.19! new only from $47.19!
20 view cover	Bumpin' on Sunset (2007) more music like this by Wes Montgomery Once again, the Japanese prove that they know how to assemble compilations infinitely better than we do here in the United States -- even though there is no particular reason for it, since Universal, who owns the rights to all this material by Wes Montgomery, operates here in the U.S as well as in Japan. This whopping 17-cut collection by über ... see all copies from $15.00!
