Composer(s):

Wes Montgomery

There are only three great guitar pioneers of jazz : Django, Charlie Christian and Wes Montgomery. Wes’ sweet sound is still emulated by guitarists worldwide, even though his career had a very late start : his first recordings date back from 1958, when he was already 35 years old. The ten following years allowed him to develop his mesmerising octaves played with the thumb on his trademark guitar, a Gibson L-5.
