(77)- “D Natural Blues” and Wes Montgomery

Standards Rating 7 Difficulty 6

Wes Montgomery, a self-taught jazz guitarist born in 1923, became a major influence in jazz history with his warm tone and signature thumb-picking technique. He gained national attention after joining Lionel Hampton’s band and later formed The Montgomery Brothers. Discovered by Cannonball Adderley, Montgomery recorded key albums like The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery and achieved commercial success in the 1960s with pop-oriented jazz under Creed Taylor. His track “D Natural Blues,” a 12-bar blues in D, showcases his rhythmic sophistication and blues phrasing. The melody features syncopated motifs and a strong use of the flat 3rd, while the harmony includes a classic blues progression with some variations. Montgomery’s solo incorporates single-line runs, octave playing, and double-time feel. His legacy lives on through tributes by artists like George Benson and Emily Remler, whose live version of “D Natural Blues” honors Montgomery’s style. He died in 1968 at 45, leaving a profound musical legacy.
