A bridge between pop and modern, drawn by the master of jazz guitar.
Montgomery, who brought innovation to the jazz world, has created an ambitious work that boldly incorporates pop and rock music of the time.
"A Day In The Life" is an album in which jazz guitar revolutionary Wes Montgomery reinterprets Beatles classics and other popular songs of the time with his unique chord work and octave playing. It has been praised for its attempt to reach a wide range of listeners, not just jazz fans, and can be considered a pioneer of crossover music. The arrangements, which incorporate strings, are also fresh, and the album highlights Montgomery's challenging attitude that transcends the boundaries of traditional jazz.
