Hi, Dennis.

I don't if these were all played by Wes and/or Joe, but they're rhythm changes tunes from the bop era and therefore more than likely to have been played by Wes or Joe.

-Anthropology
-Blue's Theme
-Celerity
-Celia
-Crazeology
-Bouncin' with Bud
-Salt Peanuts
-Cottontail
-Dizzy Atmosphere
-Lester Leaps IN
-Moose the Mooch
-Meet the Flinstones
-Move (A sec only)
-Oleo
-Shaw Nuff
-Steeplechase
-Turnpike
-Wail

P.S. Here's a link of a list of rhythm changes tunes: http://abel.hive.no/oj/musikk/trompet/tpin/rhytm-changes.html

Hope this helps. Speaking of Joe, I've been digging his takes on Fleur d'Ennui and Cavalerie lately. Very cool interpretations.

Hi Dennis,

Wes did "Cottontail" on an incredibile album entitled "So Much Guitar". I'm not familiar with any other rhythm changes tunes recorded by Wes.

Joe recorded many such tunes including Seven Come Eleven, Cottontail, Good Bait, Stuffy, Oleo and BELLVILLE (on a great album entitled "Summer Nights").

Happy listening, Wes and Joe are my favorite guitarists of all time. Joe was very influenced by Django. Wes by Charlie Christian.

Cheers,

Marc

Hi Dennis,

Wes also recorded a rhythm changes tune with Clark Terry while on tour in England.
He also plays on Sam Jones' original tune, Scrambled Eggs, which is based on rhythm changes (in the key of F) but with a different bridge.

Dennis,

The Wes Montgomery /Clark Terry CD is a live recording that has been issued under several different titles. My copy is titled "Straight No Chaser".
The tracks are, Straight No Chaser, Just Friends, In A Mellow Tone, Wes Got Rhythm, and The Theme.

Scrambled Eggs is on Nat Adderley's Work Song:
