Digitally remastered two-fer from this Jazz outfit formed by the Montgomery brothers (Buddy and Monk along with their more famous sibling Wes): The King And I (1957) and Kismet (1958). On Kismet The Mastersounds are augmented by Wes Montgomery, for many, the ultimate Jazz guitarist. These recordings are amongst his rarest and will be indispensable to both student of the genre and completists. The decision for such accomplished Jazz musicians to take on these two major stage productions was inspired by the resounding success in 1956 of Shelley Manne and Andre"s Previn"s Jazz interpretations of My Fair Lady.
