Wes Montgomery - Here's That Rainy Day - Live download song

jAZZ modern guitarists play too many notes. Here it is perfect.

Wes was one of the most compositional players of all time. His solos never sounded like a bunch of notes thrown together just to fit the changes. That is why he is generally considered to be unequaled in many ways. The bass player, Rick Laird was the bassist that later played electric bass in John Mclaughlin's Mahivishnu Orchestra.

The Best Jazz Guitarist Ever!

Really good camera work it's nice to see his playing up close

5:35 That's how you deal with a bum note. No big deal, just smile and move on. :)

Wes Montgomery sound is so mellow because he played directly with his thumb: He learned that way because when he was very young his neighbour was mad about the guitar noise all day, and Wes discovered that playing with his thumb and not with the pick the sound was softer. God bless that neighbour and Wes.

People that upload this kind of videos are of great value to us all, thanks ! :)

They should eradicate the "thumb down" button on this kind of vids...

He actually fluffs a note at 5:35 and then smiles a little at his goof like, hey, nobody's perfect. Even the greats miss one once in a while. They're human.

The upright bass is so clear and has so much presence. Former Mahavishnu Orchestra bassist Richard "Rick" Laird.

I'm just amazed, first of all, that you can get a high quality video and audio of this stuff 55 years after the performance, on demand. Second of all, that you can get it for free. Wow.

Absolutely beautiful has a one-note Samba kind of feel

Every time I come across a Wes album at the thrift I have to buy it, if not ;I feel like I'm abandoning a Friend.

I can hear the bass!.  Most of these recordings you can hardly hear it.

This dude had a heart attack at 45 years old. That is seriously messed up.

There's good old Ronnie Scott's face at the end of the clip. One o Britain's finest Tenor Saxists.

Wes was my safe place in Viet Nam, when I needed quiet and peace I would put on one of his records and the ugly would be gone for awhile. Thank you Mr. Montgomery
