Movin' Wes

It reached number 18 on the Billboard jazz albums chart in 1967, his second album to reach the charts after Bumpin'.

Movin' Wes was Montgomery's debut album on the Verve label.

Produced by Creed Taylor, the album sold more than 100,000 copies initially; it was Montgomery's biggest seller to this point in his career.
