Montgomery is quite possibly the greatest talent to have ever graced the guitar, and this recording is what would both introduce him to the jazz world at large, including his unique and quintessential approach to the instrument, and establish his presence as a musical giant. The album is evenly split between standards and original compositions. Four on Six, however, is the centrepiece of the album.

The guitar solo on this song is quintessential Wes, and anyone looking to understand what he was all about should look no further.
