This work proves that he is an artist who embodies the "singing guitar."
This is a defining album from the early days of his career, clearly showcasing his signature octave playing and soft, swinging phrasing.
The opening track, "'Round Midnight," highlights Wes's distinctive rounded tone and lyrical approach, breathing new charm into jazz standards. The up-tempo tracks "Satin Doll" and "Missile Blues" have a comfortable, light swing, showcasing Wes's ability to sublimate the language of blues and bop into his own style.
