Further Adventures of Jimmy and Wes is a collaboration album by American jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery and electric organist Jimmy Smith. It was recorded in 1966, along with Jimmy & Wes: The Dynamic Duo.

Contents

This is also Montgomery's fourth collaboration album.

Reception

Richard S. Ginell reviewed the reissue for AllMusic and was highly favorable in his comments, writing "... picks up where Dynamic Duo left off, digging a little further into the one-time-only Wes Montgomery/Jimmy Smith sessions and coming up with more fine music — mellower in general than Dynamic Duo but first-class nonetheless. Unlike most of the studio sessions from this time, Montgomery gets plenty of room for his single-string work as well as his famous octaves, and both techniques find him in full, mature bloom, needing fewer notes in which to say more (Smith, of course, is precisely the opposite)."
