DANGEROUS is a collection of tracks recorded in the early 1960s.
Digitally remastered by Joe Tarantino (1999, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).
This fill-in-the-gaps compilation of early-'60s sessions includes six tracks (two of them alternate takes) that were previously only available on the box set The Complete Riverside Recordings, and three previously unissued alternate takes from the performance that yielded the 1961 live album The Montgomery Brothers in Canada. Even with just nine tracks, Montgomery is heard in a variety of contexts: the ballad "If I Should Lose You" performed by the Montgomery Brothers (an alternate take), the 1962 live version of "S.O.S." with Johnny Griffin and Miles Davis' 1959-62 rhythm section (another alternate take), four 1963 songs with organist Melvin Rhyne, and the three unreleased 1961 Montgomery Brothers cuts (two of which are different versions of "Stella By Starlight") with vibraphonist Buddy Montgomery. The material is characteristic early-'60s Montgomery: quality, straight-ahead jazz that you wouldn't place among his most essential efforts, but that wouldn't displease fans or dishonor him either. There's plenty of single-note and parallel octave playing throughout, and it might be that the four tracks with Rhyne, particularly "Lolita" and "Blues Riff," are the most interesting. Three cheers, by the way, to Milestone for putting out box set-only material in a single-CD format, which makes it easy to acquire for fans without deep pockets (a rare service in the record business). ~ Richie Unterberger
