Bumpin' is a 1965 album by Wes Montgomery. It marked Montgomery’s first appearance on the Billboard Top LPs chart, where it reached number one hundred sixteen. Released during a period when Montgomery was expanding his audience, the album sits within his mid nineteen sixties run of orchestrated jazz recordings.

The record pairs Montgomery’s guitar with arrangements and conducting by Don Sebesky, placing his playing within a larger ensemble setting. The material reflects a blend of jazz with Latin and pop influenced orchestration that was characteristic of this phase of his career. Bumpin is often noted for the contrast between Montgomery’s melodic guitar lines and the surrounding orchestral textures.

The album received favourable critical response and is generally regarded as an accessible entry in Montgomery’s catalog that helped introduce his work to a broader listening audience.
