''Down Here on the Ground'' is the nineteenth album by guitarist Wes Montgomery, released in 1968. It reached number one on the Billboard Jazz album chart and number 4 on the R&B chart. It also reached number 38 on the ''Billboard'' 200. The title song "Down Here on the Ground" is Montgomery's version of the theme song from the movie ''Cool Hand Luke'' by Lalo Schifrin. == Reception == 〕 | rev2 = ''The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide'' | rev2Score = 〔 〕 }} In his Allmusic review, music critic Michael G. Nastos wrote "The arrangements of Don Sebesky are for the most part pretty, unobtrusive, and pleasant but lack groove and soul in the main… In many real and important ways, this is the beginning of the end for Montgomery as a jazz artist, and the inception of bachelor pad lounge/mood music that only lasted for a brief time. This recording, with no extra material, alternate takes, or bonus tracks, cannot compare to Charlie Parker with strings. It does fall in that category of recordings where the musicians chose to produce, rather than create their personal brand of jazz, and is at the very least an historical footnote."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Down Here on the Ground」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
