Friends We’re here for round 21 of the extravaganza! Doesn’t time fly. This week we’re dipping back into the world of jazz, and this is somewhat of a joint effort, as this was a record sent to me this Christmas past by @aarb420 from his collection. Shared with me, and now shared with you.
The sample this week is… Wes Montgomery - A Day In The Life.
Of his three A&M recordings, A Day in the Life (the first one) was by far the best and, although the jazz content is almost nil, the results are pleasing as background music.

The record is definitely in the ‘easy listening camp’, but I myself love some easy listening. This is one you’ll need to bring your own flavours to, but I think it provides a lot to work with as a base
Here’s a YouTube preview and also the high quality vinyl recording:
