Wes Montgomery in Holland

Post by Brint Hannay »

I just ran across this great half-hour video of Wes in 1965 on Dutch TV. A nice informal jam with a group of excellent Dutch musicians.

One of my favorite YouTubes yet.

Wes.... Live in '65

Post by Chris Reesor »

I have this dvd and love it. Of course, Wes was, and still is, my first guitar hero, so I'm a little bit prejudiced. The Dutch session is probably my favourite, but the Belgian session with Mabern, Harper and Lovelace is excellent as well. The London segment is not quite as fine, but it's still Wes, right?
Excellent sound and fine camera work with good views of both of Wes's hands make this a must have deal for any jazz guitar player ( or Montgomery fan ).
The booklet has a nice essay by Pat Metheny.
Still available at www.jazzicons.com
