If you trying to improvise, just listen to this master.

[@PatrickjazzguitarBro]

Thanks for this. There are so few "Wes" live videos. Each is a treasure.

[@jocknarn3225]

Yahh whaaat?! Insane playing .. a freak of Nature that thumb of Wes’s. Ok so I pick up my jaw off the floor & go wash the dinner dishes & practise

[@christianboddum8783]

That upright bass tone is unreal, kudos to the soundguy!!!

[@johnmckenna1776]

It looks like the bass has a small condenser mic under the bridge of the upright bass. I agree great sound mix and this was in the 60's with no digital gear at all. :)

[@tomekkrakowiak2398]

Do you know who the bass player is here?

Thank you so much for all your colorized posts of Wes - brings him to life even more! So fantastic to see & hear him play...🎸💖

[@prestonbacchus4204]

Sorry you left early, Wes, but you left behind some fantastic stuff.^^^

[@jimunsigned]

Jackie Dougan had a head of bright ginger hair, so whoever did the colorization got this spot on !!

[@TheAmigodaniel]

West Just Amazing!

I was looking for this recording just a few days ago and couldn't find it. Thanks for uploading it, and the colour is as always a happy addition.

[@bmurray4882]

great job, thank you

[@NIPPYxMIMI]

This isn't Wes at his most inspired, I have to say, but every bit of quality video we get of him is a gift! Thanks for sharing the colorized videos. The bit starting at 14:20 is stunning.

Do you have any clips of Max Roach?

[@ebjazz93]

I only have recent material you can find on youtube already. No old stuff, unfortunately.

[@evanfurrow7115]

@@ebjazz93 Ok, thanks

[@benndawg5209]

How odd they have this man sit in front of Wes and tell his story. Why not just ask Wes himself?? Lol

[@desertdetroiter428]

Probably to make sure that the interview doesn’t start rambling and going over the time.

[@benndawg5209]

@@desertdetroiter428perfectly logical explanation! Thanks!
