Wes Montgomery - part three


If I Should Lose You



Guitar solos from two separate takes of the standard If I Should Lose You. The solo labeled "take one" is the rendition originally issued on The Montgomery Brothers' recording Groove Yard. "Take two" would show up on subsequent reissues.

Where to find
Originally recorded in 1961 for Riverside, "take one" and "take two" are available respectively on the CDs Groove Yard and Dangerous; collectively on Wes Montgomery: The Complete Riverside Recordings; or individually from iTunes.

Mad Science
Just for fun, I've taken both solos and pasted alternate phrases together to form a new - and almost cohesive - hybrid solo.
