Smokin' indeed

I spent an enjoyable afternoon Saturday driving home from Indiana listening the new Verve reissue of Wes Montgomery’s “Smokin’ at the Half Note” with the Wynton Kelly Trio (Kelly, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb), which I mentioned hearing about on NPR earlier this month. Then I promptly listened to it again on the Denon when I got home.

If you don't have the original, get this one. The sound is improved and there are five more tracks, including a fine version of "Impressions." If you have the original, consider a trade, especially if you like Wes Montgomery. And who doesn't?
