Wes Montgomery - Talkin' Verve (Roots Of Acid Jazz) @flac

The title of this compilation tries to make Montgomery viable for a younger generation, but it's not exactly "acid

jazz."


Rather, it's an anthology of some of Montgomery's better pop- and soul-oriented material from the mid-'60s.


The 16 tracks show Montgomery in both orchestral and small combo settings, a few cuts taken from his collaborations

with Jimmy Smith.


Purists have long disdained this phase of Montgomery's career.


But those who don't measure work by how straight-ahead it is will find much to enjoy here, in either the cuts with

Oliver Nelson's orchestra, or the less elaborate sessions with the likes of Smith, Grady Tate, Ron Carter, and Ray

Barretto. (AMG)
