Title: Wes Montgomery – Goin' Out Of My Head
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1965, Jazz, Crossover Jazz, Indianapolis
Matrix #: V6-8642
Condition: VG+ (LM)
Cultural Facts:

1. Personal Struggle Montgomery did not break wide until his mid-30s, after years working days and playing nights, which gave him a short window before his 1968 death at 45.
2. Studio Lore Creed Taylor and Oliver Nelson pushed him into bigger arranged settings here, moving him away from small-group jazz and toward a polished crossover format.
3. Media Narrative Purists knocked this era as too commercial, but records like this made Wes far bigger than he had ever been in straight-ahead jazz.
