Wes Montgomery was perhaps one of the best jazz guitarists of the sixties. Amazing that he was able to have created such a unique style with the picking of the guitar with just one thumb. Gotta love the way the black & white filming creates such a mood. Subtle use of depth of field, focus on the hands, and unique angles make this filming a true gem. If only concerts were filmed with such detail today. Enjoy this one...it gets really kickin' around 4:55. Feel the groove.
