Boss Guitar

Boss Guitar is the sound of a master in his absolute element. By 1963, Wes Montgomery had perfected his signature thumb-plucking technique, resulting in a tone that is thick, rounded, and entirely devoid of the metallic 'ping' associated with a pick. This album places him in the classic organ trio format, where the Hammond B3 provides a smoky, bluesy foundation that allows Wes to dance between single-note lines and his legendary parallel octaves. It feels like a private performance in a high-end jazz club where the air is heavy with history and the drinks are stiff.
