Hilarious that Wes tells the announcer that they're going to start with 'So What', Miles Davis composition, but in fact they play 'Impressions' by John Coltrane which was, in its way, a version of 'So What' in that it follows exactly the same chords.
The bass player is Paul Chambers. He is mention on the other live tracks from the gig that are included on the deluxe edition of the Smokin' At The Half Note album (same radio presenter)
This is the Wes we in Indy listened to all the time , guitars weren't real popular in Jazz at the time even though there were some good ones Indy was a hotbed of mid-east Jazz I don't think I ever heard Wes play any tune the same way twice there was JJ. Johnson , Freddie Hubbard, John Von Ohlen , David Baker, Steve Allee & others but only 1 Wes ... Thanks to Nate Adderley Riverside Records signed him ... enjoy Wes Montgomery Legacy through his recordings
Actually it was Cannonball who rushed into his office and gave Orrin Keepnews, Producer of Riverside Records Wes' phone number saying, "You've got to get this guy for the Label" This was after hearing Wes one time at the "Missile Room" with his Trio. ... get a copy of the WES MONTGOMERY book by Adrian Ingram for tons of WES data and other guitarist's views.
Jim Griffin did you know Wes or anyone from the Avenue ? Lots of stories about Wes how many true only people from Jazz Indy knew the real stories that were true or not & im one of them I was at the Missle Room when Cannonball was invited there & Isitting with a young trombonist named David Baker my friend ... later to be known as Dr. David Baker world known Professor & Founder of Jazz Studies at Indiana University.. David was also a good friend of Quincy Jones & many other top players like Slide Hampton , Montgomery Brothers , JJ Johnson . Back then Indy was a Hot Spot of Jazz musicians I visited all the Jazz clubs no one said anything either about me being white . Not like today where white people think they know all about blacks & they Don’t
you're right Matthais Paul chambers was the regular bassist w/ wyinton kelly on the relaease but these recordings and I'll post all of them The announcer says that for the matinees that these recordings were from that paul chambers was replaced by these bassists I mentioned. Listening closely i can tell the difference in the sound of the 2 bassist but need an expert to tell me which is Ron and which is Larry. Your comment will motivate me to put more up . thanks for listening.
@@jimshelton115 Wes played with Hampton years before.. in 1949: ua-cam.com/video/7V8JnISFYc8/v-deo.html Wes at 2:00 ;) funny, isnt it ? Monk was the first jazz bassist who played the (then new) Precision Bass with Hampton, who kinda liked it.. to hear the bass really for the first time.
I feel the guitar sounds fine especially for it being a rare recording. It’s what he’s saying on the guitar that really matters. And he is saying a lot!
@@teddypantelas Yes, it is all there... so right you are.. his guitar tells a story, like he always did ;) Great sound for anyone who really listens, thanks !
That one is on Modern Jazz on DVD 44611, Salt Peanuts .. well known and appreciated take.. this one here is a rarity and a more adventurous take, IMHO.. more off the beaten path
The only guitarist I never need a break from listening to.
I totally agree Gene!
his playing is incredible on this cut! A masterpiece!

right just a different melody,
you can hear him say "impressions" right before he counts it off
Great observation....my he was amazing!
tremendous Guitar, Sound and Ideas 🙏
@@JoshMoyerGuitar Right you are
Amazing!!!!!!
This is a stunning take. Off the charts good
He just flies here.. you are goddam right
This same tune is on the Willow Weep for Me album live and Wes’s burns even more on this tune!
What a thrill to hear this. It's like getting a bunch of unissued alternate takes from "Live at the Half Note"!

Sheer genius

Before Wes became known he used to play with his brother's Monk & Buddy called Montgomery Brothers with Monk on Fender Bass

Enjoyable!

2:10 Wynton “Milestones”
3:15 Wes “Surry with the Fringe on top”
Lovley Moon by Lester George
Did anyone hear what sounded like the Billy Boy melody around 3:14ish
impressionはコルトレーンの曲ですか？モードの名曲と言われてますが？パットマルチーノの名演もありますよね？
Hey teddypantelas any chance of getting a higher quality copy of this???
Tomas Vanderhoek ji
Inspired. Completely different from the version on "Smokin at the Half Note." Can some one transcribe this?
Have you seen the software Transcribe! ?
By Seventh String, it is a very useful bit of kit
transcribe it yourself if you actually want to learn something.
thank god someone said it
😂
@@calichav Yeah.. "Tabz - anyone got ..? " gotta love these guys.. 🤣
kiiiick ss
Sounds like the Incomparable Steve Allen announcer .
This sounds like Ron Carter.
what do you mean?
I wish the guitar didn't sound like lo-fi recorded mandolin, what i would give to listen to a pristine recording of this.

Sounds like a super reverb instead of the standell.
By the way, there's an even better (IMHO) video version of Wes playing Impressions live in 1965 here: ua-cam.com/video/3Z7yXLIk4oI/v-deo.html
That one is on Modern Jazz on DVD 44611, Salt Peanuts .. well known and appreciated take.. this one here is a rarity and a more adventurous take, IMHO.. more off the beaten path
Btw.. there is a really weird one, too .. ua-cam.com/video/kZhCFWwL4B4/v-deo.html
