Wes Montgomery, “Smokin’ at the Half Note”, by Larry G. (Jazzfan)
Jan 12, 2022
Not only is this a beautiful live album, for me it’s definitely a “desert island” album. Tracks like Unit 7 and the upbeat Four on Six really hooked me. Other standards like Willow and Misty are just great to listen to as well.
