Fusion was the first album Montgomery recorded along with a string session. This would become more commonplace on his later releases on the Verve and A&M label. It has been reissued by Original Jazz Classics with additional alternate takes and all the tracks are also available on the Wes Montgomery compilation CD The Complete Riverside Recordings. Wes Montgomery with Strings. Although most Wes Montgomery fans associate his playing with strings with his later A&M and Verve recordings, the influential guitarist actually fronted a string section for the first time on this Riverside date from 1963, which had the ironic name of Fusion. As with his later albums, Montgomery's guitar solos here are brief and melodic but the jazz content is fairly high even if the emphasis is with the exception of Tune Up on ballads.
