I haven't backtracked through all the posts here but has anyone mentioned Buddy Montgomery?

Not sure myself, but I recently got the Fantasy CD reissue of The Mastersounds, and while listening, kept saying to myself how f.......ng great this man was on vibes - he was a monster on piano, but on vibes I think he belongs into the top ten.

Mike,

There were quite a few names mentioned in recent AAJ threads as well... perhaps there might be a few you can add here...

I'm sure Buddy Montgomery was mentioned in one of these threads (and I suspect in this one here, but I haven't looked)...

You're welcome!

Is he playing both vibes and piano on this? Never reissued on CD, I'm afraid ....

?... Don't you mean "thank you"? Maybe I'm missing something. Anyway, I'd love to see that Montgomery album reissued. Never had it, never heard it, as far as I recall...
