Fusion!: Wes Montgomery with Strings is the eighth album by American jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery, released in 1963.
Fusion was the first album Montgomery recorded along with a string session. This would become more commonplace on his later releases on the Verve and A&M label.
It has been reissued by Original Jazz Classics with additional alternate takes and all the tracks are also available on the Wes Montgomery compilation CD The Complete Riverside Recordings.
In his Allmusic review, music critic Scott Yanow praised the album "As with his later albums, Montgomery's guitar solos here are brief and melodic but the jazz content is fairly high even if the emphasis is (with the exception of "Tune Up") on ballads... worth picking up; the music is quite pretty and pleasing."
