What a kind, warm person Wes was. It's so cool to be a fly on the wall to listen to these pros at work. The pianist so quickly assimilates the changes and then they all play the tune so well. Astoundingly good solo by Wes with all the hallmarks of his greatness and the logical, conversational theme and variations structure that was his trademark.

You're right about the piano player. Watching both of them assimilate that, fantastic.
We don't get to see it often. Great to hear this from the cool era.

Didn't take them too long to gain altitude!

I really need to listen to more jazz, I'm a bit ashamed I didn't know that song and its a "standard" apparently. Has snatches of "Four" in there.

That is such a treasure! I first saw it a few months ago -- up until then I didn't think that I could appreciate Wes any more than I already did, but seeing him at work with these other fine musicians blew me away.

There are some others from this session as well:
