During the mid-1950s, they were members of the Montgomery-Johnson Quintet with Alonzo Johnson and Robert "Sonny" Johnson.

Recordings from these early years, including sessions produced by Quincy Jones in 1955,[1] were released later, most notably as Wes Montgomery's In The Beginning (Resonance, 2015).[2]

From 1957–1960, they recorded as the Mastersounds, then as the Montgomery Brothers.[3]
