Hip-o Select announced their latest box set release just before the weekend: a massive chronicle of legendary guitarist Wes Montgomery's output for Verve Records.

Montgomery was already an influential jazz player in the late '50s and early '60s when signed to Riverside Records. His thumb-picked guitar stylings influenced countless axe men, from Pat Metheny to Jimi Hendrix, and his plethora of recordings from the era give even the most seasoned fans much to treasure. But when he joined Impulse! Records founder Creed Taylor at Verve, something interesting happened: Montgomery began to infuse his jazz style with a more traditional pop bent, adding brassy and string-infused arrangements from the likes of Don Sebesky and Oliver Nelson and covering more pop-oriented material, including Little Anthony and The Imperials' "Going Out of My Head" (his performance would win a Grammy) and the Sherman brothers' classic "Chim Chim Cher-ee" from Walt Disney's Mary Poppins. Though Montgomery would be taken from the music world not long after signing with A&M, passing away from a heart attack at the too-young age of 45, his music has lasted more than a lifetime.

And on Movin': The Complete Verve Recordings, every note of this fertile two-year period is covered. The five-disc set includes all eight of Montgomery's original Verve albums and a host of bonus material. While none of the bonus content is unreleased, owing to Verve's heavy output of posthumous releases and CD bonus tracks, 82 tracks is a lot of ground to cover, and with sleek packaging and new liner notes from writer Marc Myers, you can be sure you're getting the real deal on this set.

The box is available September 27, and can be pre-ordered after the jump.
