Resonance Records will release Echoes of Indiana Avenue—the first full album of previously unheard Wes Montgomery music in more than 25 years—on March 6, 2012, which would have been Montgomery's 88th birthday.
Some consider Montgomery to be one of the greatest jazz guitarists ever. The album showcases Montgomery in performance from 1957-1958 at nightclubs in his hometown of Indianapolis, as well as rare studio recordings.
Among the songs here are renditions of Erroll Garner's "Misty" and openly gay composer/pianist Billy Strayhorn's "Take the A Train" as well as jazz standards "Darn That Dream" and "Body and Soul."
