This is Price's most impressive recording to date. He thinks so, too. He told Jazzwise (in our December 2020 issue): ‘I’m absolutely knocked out by it’.

And rightly so. As its title implies, this is Price looking afresh at compositions by his hero Wes Montgomery, and re-casting them in ways that he feels Wes might well have considered. Or welcomed. Add to that, Price's decision to enlist Au to create discrete string arrangements for three of the 10 numbers and then to enlist Snowboy to splice in percussion effects, and you can see that this surpasses anything else that he has done up to now.

‘Cariba!’, once a bossa nova, gets pleasingly raucous treatment, Stanley's organ riffs presaging a lively run-down, both horns blazing, the stomping tempo and Price's zip giving this a Harlem club vibe, strings attached. ‘Leila’ has the quartet with tenor upfront, moving fast, this more like the regular Price output, all bubbling lines and collaborative action.

The much-loved ‘Jingles’ benefits from Snowboy's expertise, its intricate theme prompting Price's creativity as Stanley unfurls his neat lines and Vasilis weaves his way through. ‘Far Wes’ is a waltz now, and calmer while ‘So Do It’ is serene, Kofi sinuous, the strings and Snowboy’s percussion imparting their own soft cushioning, the theme sibilant and pleasing. ‘Movin’ Along’ does just that, the riff uppermost and ‘Monk's Shop’ is another rouser, Kofi triumphant. Wes recorded but didn’t write, ‘I’ve Grown Accustomed To Her Face’: it receives a subdued but perfectly poised reading by Price himself, Stanley and the strings his faithful followers.
