Up until the emergence of Wes Montgomery, the story of jazz guitar had lain in the hands of such luminaries as Eddie Lang, Charlie Christian and Barney Kessel. What Wes bought to the table was a style that became famous for its use of octaves and block chords, taken on board by so many other guitarists including George Benson. His use of the thumb rather than his fingers in picking out those sumptuous lines of his, served to single Montgomery out as an individual bringing something different to the music in the second half of the Fifties and into the early Sixties.
