    In 1967 I bought his album "A day in the life". To me he is the best. Dig his first live recording at Tsuba. in Berkley 1962. Most of Miles Davis's set came to Tsuba and it was an admin impromptu jam.

    The guitar may be an instrument created for the dyslexic. The guitar's "B" string inherently has 5#s/bs; and naturally its relative major is at the "D" string, with 2#s/bs. The napkin shows in writing that all "written" music can thus (theoretically) be transcribed and transposed into a single picture/pattern super imposed on the guitar's fretboard.

    1965? Wow I guess he is a bit older than I remeber in pics but thought he passed by 65 already. Truly one of the best R.I.P. Mr. Montgomery.

    Wow I've heard of this guy but this my first listen. It's as smooth as silk, very sophisticated and warm sounding. Can imagine this guy inspired many, George Benson being one.

    A wonderfully great guitarist and a great jazz standard! I saw Monk perform this ( his composition) at the Vanguard in NYC many years back! So memorable!
