Wes Montgomery - A Day In The Life flac album

By the time Wes Montgomery recorded this album (his debut for A&M), he was a major name in the pop world. Montgomery's melodic renditions of current pop hits caught on and were played regularly on Top 40 radio. In most cases the guitarist did little more than play the melody, using his distinctive octaves, and it was enough to make him saleable. Of his three A&M recordings, A Day in the Life (the first one) was by far the best and, although the jazz content is almost nil, the results are pleasing as background music.

California Dreaming is an album by jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery that was released in 1966. It reached No. 1 on the Billboard magazine jazz album chart and No. 4 on the R&B chart. It was reissued on CD in 2007 with an alternate take of "Sunny".

In late 1967 Montgomery signed for Creed Taylor’s CTI Records, a subsidiary of A&M Records, and had his most successful record on the Billboard charts when A Day In The Life reached N. 3 and stayed on the charts for well over a year on its way to becoming the best selling jazz album of 1967. On 15 June 1968, just a month after his last ever recording session for A&M, and shortly after returning from a tour with his quartet, Montgomery woke up feeling unwell; within minutes he had a heart attack and died instantly.
