DVD Reviews of Jazz Icons: Wes Montgomery Live in '65
DVD Review: Great video
Summary: 5 Stars
This video shows Wes as the knowledgeable musician who is in total control of his instrument and his craft. I enjoyed it so much that I purchased a second video to share with a friend.DVD Review: Wes Montgomery Live in 1965
Summary: 5 Stars
Amazingly clear footage with great shots in a relaxed atmosphere that captures Wes' character, relaxed approach and technique to his awesome playing style. The dialogue between Wes and the piano player in working out a tune gives a glimpse into their chord knowledge and experience. I've been playing for over 40 years and was influenced by Wes and Kenny Burrell in my beginning years. I recommend this video for any serious jazz guitarist.DVD Review: A Different Guitar
Summary: 5 Stars
As I have mentioned on more than one other occasion in reviewing various musical genres, what goes around comes around. On the basis of doing a review of the legendary and ground-breaking Texas blues guitarist T-Bone Walker a friend sent me a this DVD of jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery. Well, although jazz is not my main area of interest (except where it intersects, as it does in many places, the blues) of course I knew the name, if not the specific work, of Wes Montgomery.
What we have here is very lovingly done tribute to Brother Montgomery, as part of a jazz icon series, by showcasing a set of three European performances in 1965 done during the prime of his jazz powers. Look, I know folk guitar and many of its virtuoso players backward and forward. I know rock guitar and many of its virtuoso performers as well. I know blues guitar and its virtuoso performers, like the above-mentioned T-Bone Walker, backward, forward and side way. I cannot same the same for the jazz guitar. I can say, though, off viewing this series of performances that Mr. Wes Montgomery fits very comfortably in that virtuoso category.
DVD Review: THE Master
Summary: 5 Stars
It is well known that Wes Montgomery is the greatest of all Jazz guitarists. Indeed, who can we compare to him? When watching these performances I am struck by the sheer control Wes exercised over his instrument. His capacity to create the most interesting and inventive octave, block chord, and single-note lines are not only without paralel among jazz guitarists, but I dare say that he stand with only a handful of the greatest Jazz musicians on any instrument. We are very lucky to have these video performances of Wes, which feature examples of some of his finest work. The quartet here that featured Harold Maeburn is also one of the best Wes ever had. Never has a Jazz musician been better portrayed on video.DVD Review: JAZZ ICON: WES MONTGOMERY
Summary: 5 Stars
He was a pioneer and a great jazz guitar player, I enjoyed the video of this legend.
