It's an extraordinary orchestral date featuring arrangements by Don Sebesky that showcases soloists such as pianist Herbie Hancock and percussionist Ray Barretto. The songs (which include \"Sunny\" and the title tune \"California Dreaming\") are in this case mostly pop material of the era, from which the great performer extracts magic sounds. The album reached No. 1 on the Billboard jazz album chart and No. 4 on the R\u0026amp;B chart, and was one of the last great works by Montgomery, whose later guitar style influenced jazz fusion and smooth jazz. At the peak of his popularity, the guitarist unexpectedly died of a heart attack on June 15, 1968, at the age of 45. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 California Dreaming 3:08*\u003cbr\u003e2 Sun Down 6:03*\u003cbr\u003e3 Oh You Crazy Moon 3:40\u003cbr\u003e4 More, More, Amor 2:50\u003cbr\u003e5 Without You 3:05\u003cbr\u003e6 Winds of Barcelona 3:07\u003cbr\u003e7 Sunny 4:03*\u003cbr\u003e8 Green Peppers 2:55\u003cbr\u003e9 Mr. Walker 3:35*\u003cbr\u003e10 South of the Border 3:12\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54452421329225,"sku":"600753982860","price":7.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/4342\/3049\/files\/4380148-3283284.jpg?v=1779423813","url":"https:\/\/echoarchiv.com\/products\/wes-montgomery-california-dreaming-limited-edition-lp","provider":"Echo Archive Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
