About this album

Smokin' At The Half Note is a superb live jazz set that captures Wes Montgomery at full command alongside the Wynton Kelly Trio. Recorded in 1965 at the Half Note Club in New York, it blends Montgomery’s lyrical, octave-rich guitar style with the trio’s hard-swinging post-bop support, producing one of the guitarist’s most celebrated albums. The set is especially prized for its vivid interplay and relaxed authority, with performances that move easily between blues feeling, standards and modern jazz fluency. Long admired by critics and listeners alike, it stands as a landmark meeting of two of jazz’s most graceful voices.
