During the mid-1950s, they were members of the Montgomery-Johnson Quintet with Alonzo Johnson and Robert "Sonny" Johnson. Recordings from these early years, including sessions produced by Quincy Jones in 1955, were released later, most notably as Wes Montgomery's In The Beginning (Resonance, 2015).From 1957–1960, they recorded as the Mastersounds, then as the Montgomery Brothers. more »
