Remove ads
Wes Bound is an album by American jazz guitarist Lee Ritenour that was released in 1993 by GRP Records. The album comprises a mix of cover versions of original songs by famed jazz electric guitarist Wes Montgomery and Lee Ritenour originals in similar style, with a stellar cast of supporting musicians and studio technicians. Some years after its original release, it was reissued (in limited numbers) with the benefits of 20 Bit digital remastering, which many consider transformed it from merely good to a truly great album. 'Wes Bound' received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Individual or Group and reached No. 1 on the Billboard magazine Contemporary Jazz chart.
