  • I was sent to Vietnam in 1966. The guy nearest to me in that stiffling tent was a "soul brother" from Detroit. He brought a battery-operated 45 rpm record player and one single record. This one. He played it over and over again right into 1967. It was the first jazz tune I'd ever heard and no matter how many tunes, instruments and artists I came to knowin my life-time this one has remained my favourite. I wish I could remember that soldier's name. Are you there, reading this perhaps?

  • Wes is amazing.

    5 decades in and he's still fresh.

  • Oh man, this is so wonderful!

  • @BackSeatHump Cool story my friend! Thank you and that "soul brother" for serving our country so we can all be free to enjoy such perfect and wonderful things like Wes Montgomery. God bless you!

  • This is the first piece I had heard by,Wes Montgomery.....I was 17 years old.......I think it was 1966.Chitown.....St Phillips......St. Bernards....Herbert Rogers Kent....WVON!

  • I liked his approach to the guitar by using his thumb as a plectrum in order to slow the notes down, and to be more precise. His tone and phrasing is astounding. No one else compares.

  • This was my lullybye song when I was a baby. Each of my sisters, brother and I had a song we went to sleep to as babies. Bumpin on Sunset was mine and till this day, 45 years later, it is still my all time favorite jazz tune.

  • I own a club in SA Tx. call the "Lyons Club" and Bumpin on Sunset pulled in a lot of quarters.

  • SimpLy BeauTiFuL! That's all I have to saY....

  • I have listened to this 500 times , simply amazing

  • You can actually feel the tension building. This Wes Montgomery guitar classic IS the one to which all others will be compared. 

  • that picture says, "oh hi, im wes, i didnt see you there, but ima make love to your ear holes."
