Charles "Buddy" Montgomery was born in Indianapolis on January 30th 1930. He is more known for his vibes playing than the piano, the latter has been brought to the forefront in his later years. He toured the U.S. for several years with his brothers Monk (bass) and Wes (guitar). He moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1969 where he became involved in a variety of enterprises, music consultant and instructor for inner city youth, producing concerts for prisons, teaching jazz, acting as a judge or clinician at University workshops, and the list goes on. Apart from his vibes and piano playing he is a fine composer too.
