The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He is most known for his unusual technique of plucking the strings with the side of his thumb and for his extensive use of octaves, which gave him a distinctive sound.
- Montgomery often worked with his brothers Buddy and Monk, as well as organist Melvin Rhyne.
- His recordings up to 1965 were oriented toward hard bop, soul jazz, and post bop, but around 1965 he began recording more pop-oriented instrumental albums that found mainstream success.
