Peak of the Week, V. 116

Track: Blue ‘n’ Boogie
Artist: Wes Montgomery
Record: Full House
Year: Recorded live in Berkeley, CA 6/25/62

Comment: This is the first in a ‘Forefathers of Peak’ series.  Wes Montgomery on guitar, with the smokin’ Wynton Kelly Trio rhythm section (Wynton Kellly on piano, the sick Paul Chambers on bass, and Jimmy Cobb on drums), and Johnny Griffin on tenor sax.  These guys were ahead-of-their-time peakers.  Dizzy Gillespie tune.
