Wes Montgomery. The Incredible Jazz Guitar Of Wes Montgomery<\/figcaption><\/figure>Este disco es uno de los que te enamora cuando uno est\u00e1 comenzando a escuchar jazz. The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery<\/em> no solo es una obra maestra, sino tambi\u00e9n una puerta de entrada ideal al universo del jazz: accesible, elegante, lleno de swing y con una expresividad que no necesita alardes t\u00e9cnicos para brillar.<\/div>\n
\n

Grabado en enero de 1960 y publicado en abril del mismo a\u00f1o, el \u00e1lbum presenta a Montgomery en \u201cforma cl\u00e1sica\u201d, seg\u00fan el productor Orrin Keepnews, acompa\u00f1ado por Tommy Flanagan (piano), Percy Heath (contrabajo) y Albert \u201cTootie\u201d Heath (bater\u00eda).<\/p>\n

Desde el primer comp\u00e1s, Montgomery despliega su estilo c\u00e1lido y mel\u00f3dico, que se apoya en su t\u00e9cnica \u00fanica: tocaba con el pulgar en lugar de p\u00faa, lo que le daba un sonido suave y redondo.El repertorio combina est\u00e1ndares y composiciones propias. \u201cAiregin\u201d, de Sonny Rollins, abre el disco con energ\u00eda y precisi\u00f3n, mientras que \u201cPolka Dots and Moonbeams\u201d ofrece un momento de lirismo introspectivo. \u201cFour on Six\u201d y \u201cWest Coast Blues\u201d, ambas de Montgomery, se han convertido en cl\u00e1sicos del repertorio guitarr\u00edstico, y muestran tanto su capacidad compositiva como su sensibilidad interpretativa. \u201cD-Natural Blues\u201d es otro punto alto del disco, con un groove relajado y un solo que parece conversar con el oyente. El tratamiento de \u201cIn Your Own Sweet Way\u201d, de Dave Brubeck, es delicado y respetuoso, y \u201cMr. Walker\u201d aporta un toque m\u00e1s r\u00edtmico y juguet\u00f3n. El cierre con \u201cGone With the Wind\u201d es elegante y sereno, como una despedida sin dramatismos.<\/p>\n

La interacci\u00f3n entre los m\u00fasicos es elegante y contenida, y la producci\u00f3n sobria permite que cada frase respire.<\/p>\n

La reedici\u00f3n remasterizada respeta la grabaci\u00f3n original sin a\u00f1adir temas extra, lo que permite disfrutarla tal como fue concebida: una obra cerrada, coherente y profundamente inspiradora. Sin duda, es uno de esos discos que todos los aficionados deber\u00edamos tener en nuestra colecci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Curiosidades sobre The Incredible Jazz Guitar Of Wes Montgomery<\/em><\/h3>\n

La sesi\u00f3n se realiz\u00f3 apenas un mes despu\u00e9s de que Montgomery grabara su primer disco para Riverside. Keepnews decidi\u00f3 cambiar el formato, sustituyendo el \u00f3rgano por el piano, para resaltar el car\u00e1cter m\u00e1s l\u00edrico y sofisticado del guitarrista. El disco fue grabado en una sola sesi\u00f3n, lo que contribuye a su frescura y coherencia sonora<\/p>\n
