Smokin’ In Seattle: Live At The Penthouse Default Title

Resonance Records, 180 Gram Vinyl LP Album

Smokin’ In Seattle: Live At The Penthouse with Wes Montgomery and the Wynton Kelly Trio was captured live on April 14 and 21, 1966, less than a year after Wes and Wynton’s classic 1965 live album, Smokin’ At The Half Note. Smokin’ In Seattle features bassist Ron McClure (Charles Lloyd, Joe Henderson) and the legendary drummer Jimmy Cobb. Back by popular demand from RSD 2017, this recording is getting a second pressing with new front and back cover artwork. Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Le Vinylist, it comes with an elaborate insert featuring rare photos by Lee Tanner, Chuck Stewart, Tom Copi, Joe Alpert and others; essays by modern jazz guitar legend Pat Metheny, Seattle Times writer Paul de Barros, Resonance producer and “Jazz Detective” Zev Feldman, original recording engineer and Seattle radio DJ Jim Wilke, and bassist Ron McClure. Plus, interviews with NEA Jazz Maters Jimmy Cobb and pianist Kenny Barron. Returning exclusively for Record Store Day 2025.
