Celebrated for his unique touch, limitless creativity, and revolutionary use of octave playing, Wes Montgomery's inimitable style has made him an icon of jazz, as well as one of the most influential guitarists of all time. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth, ‘The Complete Full House Recordings’, his only live recording for the Riverside label, revisits the entirety of one of his most legendary performances at the Tsubo club in Berkeley, in June 1962. Accompanied by tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffith and Miles Davis's sidemen, Wynton Kelly (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and Jimmy Cobb (drums). The former partner of Lionel Hampton delivers stellar interpretations of his own compositions ‘Full House’ and ‘S.O.S.’, alongside reinterpretations of standards by Johnny Mercer ‘Come Rain Or Come Shine’, Mel Tormé ‘Born To Be Blue’, and Dizzy Gillespie ‘Blue’n’Boogie’. This reissue includes 2 unreleased tracks, a new essay by journalist Bill Milkowski, and a new mastering from the analog tapes by Joe Tarantino. Available in 2CD Digisleeve and limited 3LP Gatefold formats.
