TERJE RYPDAL - "Bleak House " (1968)

 
The brilliant Norwegian guitarist Terje Rypdal was only 21 years old when he recorded this first album of his called "Bleak House" in 1968.
Terje studied classical piano and trumpet as a child, and taught himself how to play the guitar when he was a teenager. 
The rest is legacy, the rest is history. 
I'm just guessing but I'm pretty sure from the sound of the music, and from the title of this song, that it was written as a tribute to the great Wes Montgomery, one of the finest jazz guitarists on the planet!
