"As Wes Montgomery's biographer Adrian Ingram has written, 1960 "was a very good year for Wes." He recorded six albums that year, two under his own leadership, and one each with Nat Adderley, Harold Land, Cannonball Adderley, and with his brothers under the collective name The Montgomery Brothers, all on the Riverside or Fantasy label. All the albums were critical successes and Wes went on to win Downbeat's New Star award for the year. A good year indeed!
MOVIN' ALONG was made in October, 10 months after the incredible INCREDIBLE JAZZ GUITAR session, and was a West Coast date. James Clay appears on tenor and flute and Victor Feldman is on piano (Sam Jones [b] and Louis Hayes [d] round out the rhythm section). Everyone is in good form."
