Ogni suo pezzo. Era una colon😅sonora le sue mani magiche.lasua sensibilità non potrà mai essere superata grandeeeee

[@michaelcorenzwit6860]

I had the pleasure of watching Wes perform his musical magic several times back in the 60s in Philadelphia. Quite often I would join Wes during a break and found him to be highly intelligent and friendly. You can see by the smile on his face that he loves what he is doing. Pure joy comes through his playing. He was one of a kind.

Thanks for sharing this story Michael

Il più grand😊e iazmen grande emozionere👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@briand4000]

Pure, clean, no theatrics, straight-ahead jazz like it was meant to be.

[@spactick]

The most influential jazz guitarist of all time. And he didn't take up the instrument until he was 19. And my personal favorite guitarist of any musical form

[@zororosario]

Yes this statement is true😊

[@jeharli]

Three outstanding musicians

[@baronmeduse]

There are four.

[@jeharli]

@@baronmeduse forgot the bass 😅

[@baronmeduse]

@@jeharli Understandable, the camera didn't dwell on him!

[@Under-yet-overameadowfullofclo]

I love how he plays with pure feel, it almost reminds of water, at its finest.

[@bluealex]

He has a ridiculous right-hand technique, but with his perfect soul, he manages to create wonderful music. What a genius!

[@WhiteVelvet40]

I would live forever inside that Piano Solo

[@cataphotik]

♥

[@marshasmith1677]

If you have never lived are been around a musician you would never know. My Father set in with Wes!!

[@toomikeful]

i feel like this is the most beautiful piece of guitare jazz ever created

[@tegrocket]

Wes is FEELING IT. Way better than the London 65. The band is freaking awesome too.

[@jasonpfinch]

RIP Harold Mabern, a Memphisian. Great pianist who shoved the blues right into hard bop.

[@oenobuzzorganic5803]

I have seen him with the George Coleman sexter, he was so talented a real boss!!!

[@jasonpfinch]

@@oenobuzzorganic5803 wow, I envy you! Coleman is a legend!!

[@michaelnoche8724]

Wes is soloing in the clouds. What an incredible player he was!

[@dannybarcenas9701]

If only he didn't learn to smoke

[@henridelagardere264]

You can't make a rainy day without bursting clouds.

[@cUnHeavenCuzMoyacca]

Mr. Montgomerys smile is contentious 😊

[@waynehereford4687]

What a master

[@universecreep]

Wes is awesome and him with Harold Mabern - wow.

[@IamUncledeuce]

Great drumming by Jimmy Lovelace!

[@179cpv]

This is a splendid example of what a great melodic improviser Wes was. So many beautiful phrases throughout the solo. This is far more musical and deeply expressive than the empty speed demon pyrotechnics that so many guitar virtuosos engage in these days. Also, it’s interesting to hear Wes play an entire solo built upon single-note phrases without progressing to octaves and chords as he so often did.

[@fabiancardenasguitarra]

Indeed!

[@dannybarcenas9701]

Genius he is

[@MrFjmejiar]

Only few musicians display that capability of improvising in that way.

[@tomasvanecek8626]

Interesting observation, about skipping chord solo.. you´re right... Maybe he just recognised it would turn into a mush, with that piano helplessly out of tune..

[@fan5407]

That was an unusual solo by Harold Mabern. The recordings of this group show Mabern experimenting quite a bit with different "feels." There are some performances where he kind of appropriates Wes' single note --> chord --> octave solo structure, which is interesting to hear. Here, Mabern seems to be working something out that doesn't really swing (at times), on purpose. It's almost like the feel a rock player would have. There's something "straight" about; again, like a rock keyboardist (Elton John) who is punctuating ON, THE, BEATS, or even like a metronomic classical pianist. It's a good choice, and it contrasts well with Wes' total ass-kicking, otherwordly swing over the bossa nova beat (and over every other kind of beat). Very cool. I don't think Mabern was an ideal partner for Wes, but they're all undoubtedly great musicians, so this group gives a different angle for Wes to work with than, say, the Wynton Kelly Trio, the Melvin Rhyne/Jimmy Cobb duo (who seemed to get Wes cooking especially well), or the Tommy Flanagan and Hank Jones accompaniments. Unlike some people who loathe the progressively commercial direction of Wes' studio recordings, I like how Wes' discography has a lot of different settings, because he always found how to fit in and then elevate the situation. Wes, man. What a remarkable artist. I never tire of listening to him. I've listened to so much music over the years, most of which I've gotten rid of (CDs), but I've held onto (or re-purchased) the Wes stuff, because when I listen to it after exploring all sorts of other music I think to myself, "Yeah, this is the good stuff. This is why I listen to music."

👍🏾 🤝🏾

[@careyclarke3062]

GRANDADDY WES EVERYBODY KNOW HE WAS THE BESTEST OF THE BESTEST !

[@theairevolution2430]

😮You can totally hear his influence on George Benson. Wes was a total genius.

[@cornerstoneofthepalmbeache5400]

People are always comparing guitarist. Wes Montgomery, "A#1 Legend"

[@dcohen65]

Saw and enjoyed him live in San Fransisco...blessed!

[@cabrinibruno]

What year?

[@Mannock]

I'll say!

[@Guitfiddlejase]

...wish I could have been there with you.

[@AlexHand]

You can find Wes doing this song at different tempos with different rhythm sections on KZbin, but this is the best one. Also my favorite version of this song I've ever heard.

[@Zonydeep]

Wonderful

[@juanfcogp2571]

Los solos de guitarra y piano son increíbles

[@RavnerRavner]

He's a goddamn genius

[@tanakanovosolsin2260]

Love this session! It's to say nothing of Wes, piano solo is so nice!

[@montantijoann8554]

I would like to extend my love for this exceptional drummer he's awesome I am sure it was Wes whom chose him to be a part of his combo. I extend a special thanks to him!!!THANKYOU!!!

[@thomaspick4123]

I like his use of a brush and a stick.

[@DahliaIbrahim-wy1ds]

Great 💯 so refreshing thanks ! 🙏 ❤❤

[@jasonpfinch]

3:25 on: Harold Mabern shows us how to do it on the old Joanna. Tempo to the fore but controlled emotion coming through. Great camera work on him at the keyboard there.

[@taukhouse44]

Pure Genius

[@flyinghorse13]

How can someone give this a thumbs down?? Hate is a disease.

[@pabloantoniopizarrobossay4722]

EXTRAORDINARIO. WES MONTGOMERY JUNTO AÚN GRUPO DE LUJO....

[@michaelcorenzwit6860]

Wes’s playing brings beautiful joy to my being.

[@raefblack7906]

RIP Harold Mabern

[@rickfeld7995]

Another version, also really good, different band, from Ronnie Scotts club in London. On KZbin.

[@joepalooka2145]

Wes' right hand thumb is bent in an amazing way from the second joint. This is really unique.

[@sibusisogumede]

😂

[@Mannock]

His use of his thumb is startling. I have always been a fan of Wes Montgomery, but this just brings it up through the roof. Amazing.

[@rubincarter3904]

Simply splendid!

[@jorgegutierrez6998]

my favorite tun from this jazz master !

[@montantijoann8554]

when Wes plays his little innuendos the look on his face is awesome it's 3 00 am in my morning and I am playing my little Ibanez in the background I cannot even begin say what an influence Wes has given my love for jazz guitar and my amateur music! THANKYOU MR WES MONTGOMERY!!!♩🎸

[@ranggascat5696]

there is something within the chord voicing, its so beutifull but sad imo,, what a legend!!!

[@henridelagardere264]

3:48 *Heat Wave* meets *Rainy Day* - a (meteoro)logically sound idea!

[@ThePmfan]

Have and treasure this DVD.

[@MrFjmejiar]

It's incredible the way Wes plays Bossa if we considered that he comes from Charlie Christian approach from Swing to Hard bop and all in between. His solos and chords are clear and solid, very elloquent. That's latin jazz. I wish he had made much more tunes like that and played with latin musicians like Joao Gilberto, Carlos Jobin, ...and many others.

[@liberatomauriziosantavener8333]

Questo non era una persona. ..più di così non si può suonare ancor oggi non è stato ugualiato genio. ..

[@TheThinker39]

Thanks for sharing this fantastic video! So beautiful!

[@jasonpfinch]

3:28 on, Harold Mabern shows how it should be done: tempo to the fore but feeling under control making itself apparent.

[@anfiorsceal]

A genius at work ...

[@2000narba]

Acordes perfeitos, pura sonoridade, Wes Montgomery foi um gênio da guitarra

[@roymanyara1430]

My goodness so so good.

[@marknarayan1558]

Thanks so much for sharing ! Greetings from Brazil !

[@tonyhall3845]

I was 8 when he passed, but he had a profound affect on me musically As a rock player in my 20's, i would play octaves in my solos as kind of a tribute to him

[@devaconcc9038]

Fantastic musicians.

[@young0804]

What a beautiful sound

[@joerectifier]

Superb

[@odettedubois9526]

Moi j adore !❤

[@rhum66]

Listen to the new release « Paris 1965 concert » with the same lineup. A great double album. Johnny Griffith is a guest on three songs. The music is as good as on the album « smoking at the half note » album.

[@cesarcamposdebarros2223]

Simplesmente magnífico!!!!!!!!

[@theaustinfound8380]

Beautifully done

[@stevefaure415]

Dig the Standel amp! @3:11

[@jasonpfinch]

I'd also like the phone number of Jimmy Lovelace's tailor.

[@mettsmusic3460]

Sweetness!

[@JerryAttric42]

love Wes! by comparison, Wes made Perry Como look like a nervous wreck! (you have to be old to remember Perry Como.)

[@ghairraigh]

From Jazz Icons : Wes Montgomery Live in '65. This tune is from the Belgium set with Wes Montgomery (Guitar); Arthur Harper (Bass); Harold Mabern (Piano); and Jimmy Lovelace (Drums).

[@garethbowden7360]

Just how good was this guy????

[@albionseed4866]

I hate to use the word best, but.... When he plays a solo he builds a house: foundation, walls, roof, even curtains and carpet. I also think the word genius is overused. But...

[@claytongillaspy8847]

Only joe pass dango and Charles Christiansen come close to Wes he’s my favorite jazz player for many years now!

[@sergeypozdnyak7021]

Спасибо.

[@JaviAranibarC]

Extraordinario

[@juanfcogp2571]

La parte 2:59 a la 3:10 es sublime

[@guitarmeister3615]

Indeed! I often start to tear up at the beauty of it and the wistfulness...

[@montantijoann8554]

I thank goodness for You Tube Jazz may expose itself to.all the young UPCOMING guitarists also I don't have to reaching into my vinyl.jazz collection!!

[@MattBlackParis]

Wes has a very uniq 3 fingers technique with the thumb behind the neck even when he drops down in the lower register. How can you that????

[@danielhutchinson7073]

He only uses his thumb??? Wow.

[@jamesrawlins735]

Supposedly he learned the technique from years of practicing at home and not wanting to wake his wife and kids

[@NeilRaouf]

good lord. brain blade is aready around for quite a while!

[@marcosa3145]

Is that a cover over the piano's name? Copywriter issues back then maybe? Great performance!

[@Neoanalogism]

Can someone direct me to a guitar transcription of this segment at 3:30 or of this song (this particular live performance) ?

[@RXmusic4YOU]

...who are the musicians please.....the drummer has great tempo with changes....

[@fabiancardenasguitarra]

+RXmusic4YOU The Drummer was Jimmy Lovelace ;)

[@RXmusic4YOU]

....thanks...finally, had to come back to this arrangement....

[@zororosario]

What piano was that? Mr Mabern on piano❤ Mr Lovelace on drums❤

[@Mipetz38]

If people keep on memeing lofi and coffee jazz into mainstream, I hope they get to know Wes

[@natanaelmelinao6029]

Fav song:v

[@monicadamico7280]

era dio

[@tomasvanecek8626]

Even this Belgian piano tuning can´t ruin it all 😇 .. but it hurts the ears still the same, shame ..

[@attygarland6909]

Rather strange way to play - Wes seems to use only a thumb pick ... I don't think I've ever seen another jazz guitarist do it that way .. btw, what's up with the pianist having the brand name of the piano blocked out (w. duct tape?). Don't think I ever saw that before, either.

[@tomlehr861]

They do it on gtars quite a bit

[@tomlehr861]

Thumb

[@ashfordp676]

Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil. Wes just learned from him and kept his.

[@Rutgerverboom]

Is it me or does the Godfather theme sounds like this?

[@shorne1111]

Did no one notice that the guitar and piano are out of tune with each other?

[@nigelmiller5609]

Who is the bassist in the back?

[@fabiancardenasguitarra]

Arthur Harper

[@nigelmiller5609]

Thank you.

[@aleccraig7283]

Piano guys looks like he doesn’t care
