Bumpin' is an album by Wes Montgomery, released in 1965. Considered an important improvisational bridge to modern jazz, the album represents a model from which many modern recordings are derived. In it, a full orchestral type of scoring goes beyond the artist's own ability to riff creating a holistic concept of music and jazz.
