Wes Montgomery
Electric Guitar Solo on
In Your Own Sweet Way

About

Wes Montgomery's electric guitar solo is the sole improvisation on this recording. Spanning three quarters of a chorus of the 32-bar AABA form at a ballad tempo of 61 BPM in E♭, the solo runs approximately 1:38. Dave Brubeck's "In Your Own Sweet Way" receives an intimate ballad treatment on Wes Montgomery's 1960 album The Incredible Jazz Guitar, with the guitarist delivering a three-quarter-chorus solo over the 32-bar AABA form at a slow 61 beats per minute in E-flat major. Wes Montgomery was 36 to 37 years old at the time of this 1960 recording.
