The Montgomery Brothers were a jazz trio consisting of the brothers Wes Montgomery (electric guitar, 1923–1968), Buddy Montgomery (piano, vibraphone, 1930–2009) and Monk Montgomery (electric bass, double bass, 1921–1982).
During the mid-1950s, they were members of the Montgomery-Johnson Quintet with Alonzo Johnson and Robert "Sonny" Johnson.
Recordings from these early years, including sessions produced by Quincy Jones in 1955,[1] were released later, most notably as Wes Montgomery's In The Beginning (Resonance, 2015).[2]
From 1957–1960, they recorded as the Mastersounds, then as the Montgomery Brothers.[3]
