about

Smokin' in Seattle: Live at the Penthouse (1966) presents previously unreleased live sets by jazz guitar icon Wes Montgomery with the irrepressibly swinging pianist Wynton Kelly and his trio captured live at the Penthouse in Seattle, WA on April 14 and 21, 1966. Recorded less than a year after Wes and Wynton's classic 1965 live album Smokin at the Half Note, which guitarist Pet Metheny calls
'the absolute greatest jazz guitar album ever made,' Smokin' in Seattle finds the dynamic duo joined by the solid rhythm section of bassist Ron McClure (Charles Lloyd, Joe Henderson) and legendary drummer Jimmy Cobb. The deluxe CD includes an extensive 40-page book of liner notes featuring rare photos by Lee Tanner, Chuck Stewart, Tom Copi, Joe Alpert and others; essays by modern jazz guitar legend Pat Metheny, Seattle Times writer Paul de Barros, Resonance producer Zev Feldman, original recording engineer and Seattle Radio DJ Jim Wilke, bassist Ron McClure; plus interviews with NEA Jazz Masters Jimmy Cobb and pianist Kenny Barron.

I was brought here after listening to a live performance of Makaya's on you tube. I instantly loved the song Holy Lands so much that I had to see if the album version was the same rendition as the live one. Then I listened to the whole album! Universal Beings is a just a groove... It's a mix of traditional and something new, very nice. pandr1900
