Willow Weep for Me is a posthumous jazz album recorded by guitarist
Wes Montgomery in 1965 and released in 1968. It reached number

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.
