Exciting, Affordable, First Appearance

When we talk about Wes in the 1950s, he left behind several recordings on Pacific Records. The CD I’m introducing here couples two LPs from this era, making it a very affordable treat for fans.

“LONE HILL JAZZ” is a dedicated reissue jazz label known for releasing rare recordings one after another, and I’ve heard that 21 titles will soon be available in Japan. Among the first to be obtained overseas, I’m introducing one of them here.

《A Goog-git Together / Wes Montgomery All-Stars / Lone Hill Jazz LHJ10133》
Featuring: Wes Montgomery, Monk Montgomery, Buddy Montgomery,
Pony Poindexter, Gildo Mahones, Walter Bolden,
Nat Adderley, Cannonball Adderley, Richard Crabtree,
Benny Barth

Coupled with:

  1. 《A Goog-git Together / Jon Hendricks / World-Pacific WP-1283》
  2. 《Kismet / Mastersounds / World-Pacific WP-1243》

《A Goog-git Together / Toshiba LLP-88166》was released domestically in the 1970s but hasn’t been reissued since, and 《Kismet / Mastersounds》is unreleased in Japan, making this quite a delightful and affordable find.
