As George Benson said when he learned that Wes Montgomery had died, "there's a big hole in the music world." We mark the 55th anniversary of the death of John Leslie Montgomery (June 15, 1968) with a five-minute excerpt from our documentary, Wes Bound, the Genius of Wes Montgomery. But then, we offer more than eight minutes of additional material NOT in the film, including a conversation with Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, Wes's children—Robert and Sandra, George Benson, Pat Metheny, Lee Ritenour, and Billy Hart. And we let Wes's widow, Serene Montgomery Woods, have the last word.
