I read somewhere that his technique of playing softly was acquired due to the hours he was able to practice. Because he worked double shifts in a factory and when he got up late at night he had to play the guitar in a way that would not disturb the neighbors. Is that true?

@ ScottGoldbergguitar - I'm an old guy now - 62 and counting - so I have been listening to Wes Montgomery now for a long time. I didn't even discover his music until I was in my early twenties, but that still means forty or so years of listening to the man. And the more time passes, the more I am awed by his greatness and just how utterly unique he and his music really were. You're right: There's no one else like Wes. It is a measure of the greatness of Wes Montgomery that even the very best jazz musicians in the world - including many of the people with whom he played - were amazed by his genius. Wynton Kelly, acclaimed by many jazz pianists as the finest accompanist ever in modern jazz, sometimes just "laid out" - dropped out of the band entirely - during some of Wes' lengthy minutes-long multi-chorus solo flights. He didn't see any reason to play, so he didn't. Kelly was an extremely rare and elite talent himself, so it speaks to just how special and unique Wes really was. Guys like him didn't impress easy....

Oh but he had the disposition of a jazz musician for sure. Years before he became famous, younger cats would sit at the Missile Room. If they messed up (and trust me that's often)-yoiu're allowed to play a couple of abbreviated choruses and sit down), then they were invited to come back when they got things worked out - albeit gracefully. There's a KZbin documentary on this. Wes showed Pim the chord changes. At the Missile Room, however, you were expected to know the songs and chords. One dude recalls asking Wes for tchord changes, you guessed it. He was invited to come back after working things out.

@@donmilland7606 - That's old-school tough love, jazz cat's style. You had to know your axe (instrument or voice, if you sang) cold, the tunes and the changes. No one was going to wait around for you to figure things out - no practicing on the bandstand! If the cats really wanted to test someone out big-time, they'll call some standard - maybe "Cherokee" or something like that - and then cycle it through all twelve keys at some ridiculous tempo. That separates the real deal players from the also-rans quite quickly. Wes was extremely humble and a pleasure to be around, according to those who knew him best. I'm speculating, but I think that he was maybe helping the Pim and the group out because of concerns over the language barrier - but as you can see/hear, once the trio show Wes they know how to play, everyone settles in really well and they sound great together. Honestly, I wish Wes had done more with the group, because they had real chemistry together.

Wes was one of the most gifted and brilliant of all the jazz musicians ever to play an instrument!

@adambrenner1721 - We know it as the tritone substitution, but Wes had virtually no formal instruction - he studied and swapped info and ideas some with fellow musicians and his brothers (Monk and Buddy were also gifted musicians) - and he figured out almost everything he knew unaided, by ear and by playing. Wes amazed Cannonball Adderley and his brother Nat and their group when doing recordings and gigs with Wes, saying "He plays in the wrong key, but it sounds so great we don't care!" His harmonic and melodic reharmonizations and substitutions were so hip and sophisticated, guys at Adderley's level were impressed. That's pretty hardcore greatness right there! As Wes showed, there are those rare individuals once in a while who are musical geniuses, and who can understand music at a very deep level without any formal instruction or with very little. Errol Garner, the legendary jazz pianist, was another one in that mold.

Wes is an example of how to lead strongly, with a soft voice and a gentle touch.

Always feels directed and never insecure or power hungry. You can learn more than just fantastic music from this guy.

It blows my mind he developed to his level while factory welding full time, for God’s sake. Also, the times you live in do heavily control some careers like music. I don’t think his talent could flourish today with today’s “tastes”, because there is not the demand no matter how good your product is, if it’s not the fashion or trend.

nemo Wes was fortunate in one big way. He lived in an era where music was much more sophisticated than now, coming off big bands. Great tunes were well known and had wide exposure. There was junk out too but compared to today, that junk was beautiful. Corner dive bars had great jazz going every night. That’s almost extinct. The culture has moved away from beautiful melody and harmony and toward ugliness.

Ricordo che il jazz lo snobbavo come musica per anziani, io cresciuto ascoltando rock e derivati, ma un giorno questo live mi ha fatto amare il jazz ma soprattutto wes montgomery, lui lo metto al primo posto per lo stile e soprattutto le famose ottave che eseguite in slide sono fantastiche come le fa lui Lo ascolto ogni giorno! Un saluto dall Italia a chi ha caricato questo video🙂🤝

There's a cool write up by pat metheny about this. Here's my fav quote, " Wes often proved to be a challenge for pianists. While many guitarists stick to single note horn-like playing when soloing with piano, Wes was a player who was constantly dropping in his own polyphonic asides and was ready to launch into full-blown harmonic variations at any point. Pianists used to controlling all the harmonic and rhythm section traffic might prove to be undone by such a challenging force as Wes. Through the quality of his listening, Pim Jacobs brings a level of attention to the details of Wes’s playing here that gives the guitarist the wide berth that he commanded while providing excellent and sensitive accompaniment throughout."

What a treasure at the peak of his powers before he passed in June of 68. As a side note I believe George Benson’s first studio album was in ‘64. Slight career overlap, but what big shoes to try to fill. Montgomery’s a once in a lifetime talent.

I agree one hundred percent. I don't think he can be matched. His gift came from the almighty. Music is complex. The fact that he can make chord changes on a dime is marvelous to me. He's also cool as hell with his dress, hair cuts. I don't ever get tired of watching and listening to Wes. Montgomery. So sorry he didn't pay to his physical symptoms and try to get medical attention. Maybe he would've lived longer to give us more beautiful music.RIP❤
