The Mastersounds

Vibraphonist Friend Montgomery and electric powered bassist Monk Montgomery (1921-1982) came collectively to create the Mastersounds (a melodic and easy hearing bop group) with pianist Richie Crabtree and drummer Benny Barth in 1957. The music group captured on for a couple of years, cutting ten information in four years for Pacific Jazz, Globe Pacific, and Dream. Wes Montgomery made an appearance using one of their 1958 albums, a couple of songs through the play Kismet. Following the group disbanded in 1961, that they had a short reunion in 1965. Both Montgomery brothers got numerous possibilities to play with their even more popular sibling under Wes’ management through the entire 1960s.
