一张Wes Montgomery1966年的专辑《Tequila》，好高兴：）
Montgomery是一位大器晚成的爵士乐结他手，十九岁才开始自学结他，三十出头才打出名堂，迎接迟来的春天，成为爵士乐坛中极罕见的传奇。他所生存的年代刚好让他衔接由Swing及Bebop传承下来的爵士语汇，并于其后的Hardbop及Postbop中发扬光大。现在屈指可数的爵士吉他大师中，没受到他影响的可说是零！从Jim Hall、George Bensen、Pat Metheny、John Scofield 、Mike Stern、John Abercrombie、Lee Ritenour……，到更年轻的Mark Whitfield、Russell Malone等等，放眼每个人的演奏中，皆有Wes的踪迹，因为他们都曾于他的音乐上下过一番苦功，如果你喜欢以上的吉他手，那么更应该专注在他们的音乐导师—Wes Montgomery上。
Wes Montgomery不识谱，但他对音符有着天生的诠释能力。所有的音符都是由他的耳朵及心灵反应至手指上的，对于一位一辈子为生活奔波所苦的好人来说，这似乎就是上天所赐给他的馈赠吧！也正因为如此，非但吉他手，其它乐器的乐手也都向他借创意，并学习他演奏的组织架构。而他的风格也融合了Bebop的原则线条，八度的奏法亦很难跑快，但却更能凸显出音符与音符之间相对关系的重要性。他摇摆的乐句和标志性的八度音演奏影响了许多现代吉他手，像George Benson, Pat Metheny 和John Scofield等。Wes以他的古怪的右手拨弦技巧而著称——他不用pick弹吉他，而只用大拇指拨弦，但他的平滑的音色、完美的节奏感和发音清晰度也同样让人崇敬。而且这样不但能产生他特殊的八度线条，在运用Charlie Christian风格的和弦式旋律（Chord-Melody）即兴时，也自成一家之言，他无疑是爵士吉他中最突出的即兴大师。
最令人佩服的，还是他仿佛是天籁的优美旋律，他真的是少数可以于快速或复杂的和弦进中找出歌唱性线条的爵士音乐家之一，他所弹奏的即兴旋律并不特别抢耳，无霸气亦无花言巧语，却自有一种独特的渗透力，逐渐蔓延全身，不动声色将你彻底征服，加上以手指代pick弹奏出来的浑厚温润音色，格外要命！在我心目中，Montgomery是一位具大将之风的乐手，弹奏快歌从容不迫，弹奏慢歌绝不滥情，永远散发着恰如其份的热度，是一种成熟练达的表现。淡定、磊落、可亲、思路清晰、有胆识、有才华，这些特质，你未必能够一次过全然体会，因为他的音乐并非一眼见底的，而是不怕火炼的亮灿真金，经得住反复细听，历久常新。
Review:
by Scott Yanow
On two of the songs included on Tequila, "Tequila" and "The Thumb," Wes Montgomery had an opportunity to jam a bit while backed just by bassist Ron Carter, drummer Grady Tate and the congas of Ray Barretto. The other six selections utilize a string section arranged by Claus Ogerman but, even with a throwaway version of "What the World Needs Now Is Love," there are memorable renditions of "Bumpin' on Sunset" and "Insensatez" that uplift this album quite a bit beyond the guitarist's later A&M recordings.
Track List:
1 Tequila (Rio) 3:23
2 Little Child (Daddy Dear) (Shanklin) 2:29
3 What the World Needs Now Is Love (Bacharach, David) 5:00
4 The Big Hurt (Shanklin) 4:34
5 Bumpin' on Sunset (Montgomery) 4:51
