Cool Album!

"A great album, with some great solos by both artists. The interplay between Smith and Montgomery is beautiful, and they produce some elegant versions of familiar tunes. Not quite as 'rockin' as their first outing together, 'The Dynamic Duo', which has some great accompaniment. If you like either of these artists, or just like smooth guitar licks and the jazz organ sound, then you'll love this album."

"That reviewer is talking about Jimmy Smith "Root Down", this is a studio Album, it is much more mellow than the Dynamic Duo. Easy and smooth."
Very Enjoyable

"If you're familiar with these two artists, you'll get just what you expect. Jimmy Smith contributes his soulful Hammond, with bass pedals on most tunes. Wes Montgomery adds quite a bit of the "double-note octave" melodic style he is known for. They are accompanied by only light drumming on most tracks. But on Milestones, they are more like the accompaniment to a full brass-based orchestra. That digression is a bit shocking -- led me to think there was a manufacturing error on the CD.
Definitely a keeper."
