Wide Hive Players II

Players II Guitar is a conglomerate musical effort spanning funk, soul, jazz, and rock that showcases Harvey Mandel (Rolling Stones, Canned Heat), Calvin Keys (Ray Charles, Black Jazz), Barry Finnerty (The Crusaders, Chico Hamilton), and Larry Coryell (Charles Mingus, Arista Records).

Keyboard and bass player Matt Montgomery shares his songwriting talents on four tracks, with contributions from label owner/engineer Gregory Howe and trombonist Mike Rinta finishing out the record.

“This is a refreshing soul jazz classic that basks in West Coast sunshine.” –BBC Music magazine
