notes

Vincent Montana, Jr., Producer, Arranger, Conductor and renowned Vibraharpist complements an array of popular classics of today and yesteryear with his signature sound: cool vibes, lush strings and silky sweet vocals. With exceptionally innovative and imaginative arrangements "This One's For You" is a truly tasteful and superb compilation offering a broad variety of jazz music from smooth and laid-back, to ritzy Latin rhythms, moody instrumentals and exciting up-tempo tracks featuring an abundance of Vibraharp solos and topped with vocal gloss by none other than the "Sweethearts of Sigma".

During the 50s & 60s, Vincent Montana, Jr. worked in and around Philadelphia's smokey jazz scene where he was able to hone his craft and interact with such true legends as Charlie Parker, Sarah Vaughn, Buddy DeFranco, Stan Getz, Clifford Brown, Red Garland and countless other great musicians and groups of the era. As a session musician for Cameo Parkway and Chancellor Records, he performed on recordings by the likes of Chubby Checker, Bobby Rydell, Frankie Avalon, Fabian and more.

Montana is best known for his innovative contribution to both the development of the "Philly Sound" as key MFSB rhythm section member and established session musician for Philadelphia International Records as well as chief pioneer of the "Disco Era" as the creative and driving force behind The Salsoul Orchestra.
