Wes Montgomery – Willow Weep For Me

 

Verve Records 1968– V6-8765

notes:

Willow Weep for Me is a posthumous jazz album recorded by
guitarist Wes Montgomery in 1965 and released in 1968.
 It reached number 12 on the Billboard Jazz album chart in 1969.
At the Grammy Awards of 1970 Willow Weep for Me won
the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album, Individual or Group.


After Montgomery's death, Verve used recordings from the sessions
 that produced Smokin' at the Half Note and hired arranger Claus Ogerman
to write string and brass arrangements for "Willow Weep for Me", "Portrait of Jennie,"
 "Oh! You Crazy Moon," and "Misty." Subsequent reissues erased
the new backing arrangements. Principally recorded live at the Half Note,
 New York, New York in June 1965. Includes liner notes by Richard Lamb.
