Wes Montgomery
's last album for
Verve
(other than an exciting collaboration with
Jimmy Smith
) is a so-so
orchestral
date featuring arrangements by
Don Sebesky
. The material (which includes
"Sunny"
and
"California Dreaming"
) is strictly
pop
fluff of the era and the great guitarist has little opportunity to do much other than state the melody in his trademark octaves. This record was perfect for AM radio of the period. ~ Scott Yanow
