WENDY KIRKLAND/PAT SPRAKES QUINTET – “GEORGE SHEARING & THE MONTGOMERY BROTHERS”

Celebrating the centenary of Wes Montgomery’s birth, pianist Wendy Kirkland, guitarist Pat Strakes and virtuoso vibraphone player Roger Beaujolais pay an affectionate tribute, a la “George Shearing and the Montgomery Brothers”.

For Wes Montgomery, a principal benefit of his rise to fame was that it allowed him to work at times with his two brothers. This tight-knit family unit had many fans, but none more enthusiastic than Shearing, who sat in whenever possible and eventually was able to join them on record. The result was this once-in-a-lifetime blending of the differing approaches of two master melodists.
