Wes Montgomery
A hugely influential figure, Wes Montgomery's innovative jazz guitar technique
had a big influence on later generations of guitarists, notably Jimi Hendrix,
George Benson, Pat Metheny, Kenny Burrell and Stevie Ray Vaughan. He was born
into a musical family (his brothers Monk and Buddy played bass and piano
respectively and performed together as the Montgomery Brothers) although Wes
didn't start playing guitar until he was 19. Inspired by Charlie Christian, he
played in clubs by night while working long hours in a factory by day and was
discovered by sax player Cannonball Adderley...
