Not enough "O"s in SMOOTH for this track guitar licks are superb.

Unquestionably an exceptionally influential guitar voice. My favourite Wes album is with the hard-driving Jimmy Smith - "Jimmy and Wes The Dymamic Duo". The arrangements on it are by the magisterial Oliver Nelson. There isn't a dud track on it, so if you love Wes and Jimmy, trust the old Jazzbear! - this is the album for you.
