J.L. "Wes' Montgomery
1923 - 1968
American guitar player
oil on canvas
20" X 24"
I know, I know, getting out of order here but I'm posting a bunch at once today and this is the one that started it all. I have to say that Wes is the first jazz musician I went gah gah over waaaay back when I was a small impressionable pre-bone. Dad had this great album (Boss Guitar) that I remember listening to over and over late at night while imagining making out with Michelle Knight. I thought I was really cool because I knew who WM was and everybody else was listening to fucking Poison. But there is a direct lineage between CC Deville and Wes Montgomery. No there isn't.
This painting by the way is now owned by the fantastic artist Harriett Goode from Rock Hill, SC.
