"Wes Montgomery" guitar Trane "John Coltrane" sax Monk "Thelonious Monk" piano "Round Midnight" Jazz Music
what a beautiful and gentle soul Wes was.....he was blessed with so much talent and grace....I love ALL his compositions.....so much feel and emotion besides his incredible abilities.......I will cherish his music for ever.
@TakerFan72 yes i know but these musicians were so incredible i wouldn't be surprised, just like how Mingus's main instrument is bass he is also very good at piano
@TheLazaster Most if not all jazz musicians played piano. Trane, Diz, Miles, Mingus... For horn players especially it was a way to work out what they were thinking harmonically and to develop their theory. Especially once Bop rolled around and playing solos based off the melody became a huge no-no, horn players needed to be able to understand and visualize the harmonic relation between the changes. So many were at least passable jazz pianists.
@TheLazaster or perhaps........Harold Mabern?-UH OHH-now I know yall haint done gone off and forgot about him...........right?.........guys? This video was given a stupid title.
Rather than focus on what is NOT here (Trane/Monk) I focus on what IS here...a wonderful rendition by Wes and company. There is generally much more happiness and enjoyment in my life since I began to just accept what is, since what IS cannot be changed!
@soyeso999 that's a beautiful way of looking at life however there is just no reason for making such a title; i'm sure no one is heartbroken but just saying.
and happinness isn't something you achieve or accomplish it's a state of being that takes place after fulfillment. more like bliss,
Dude...*please* change the title of this. As a major, longtime Wes fan, I know that he once played some shows with Coltrane (and Dolphy) and thought--still correctly, as far as I know--that none of that stuff was recorded. When I saw JC and WM in the title above, I almost had a heart attack brought on by joy, thinking this was that. Don't get me wrong; this performance, which I've seen dozens of times, is excellent, but the title is incredibly, unfairly misleading for people who know Wes' music.
probably because monk , coltrane,and miles many times on stage together than with wess,, so wess here some kind of a new session,, anyway I rarely saw guitar and piano play...so it maybe its rare
Why would you put Monk and Trane in the title if they aren't in the video? I can sort of understand Monk, I guess, since he was the composer, but Trane? Why?
@Flatwound1000 Wow you're somekind of a purist.....what should he do now? Commit a suicide out of shame? Beware of SSP (Secret Spelling Police)! You snob...
@sonrisingpk I wasn't trolling for some spelling mistake, I was making a legitimate comment pointing out that the title has been misleading to most viewers. Don't really see how I'm part of the SSP or a purist, and no, he shouldn't commit suicide, he should change the title of the video.
Nel giorno del giudizio, Dio o chi per lui lascerà una L5 a disposizione di Wes per accompagnare tutti i resuscitati verso il luogo della loro definitiva pace, compreso l'unico disgraziato che dichiara di non amare questo video. Ma sono sicuro che Dio non aspetterà tutto quel tempo per riascoltarlo, e che lo starà già facendo...
While I think this a lovely video of Wes playing Thelonious Monk's Round Midnight and I would have watched it anyway I think it is pretty deceptive to put Monk's name and Coltrane's in the title.
As to Trane and Wes playing together, I've heard McCoy Tyner describe it as Wes was playing down the street from the Coltrane Quartet for one week and came and sat in 3 or 4 times - according to McCoy it worked some nights and didn't on others.
The Monk and Trane tags were annoying. I was listening to the 1947 version and saw this in the suggestions column and had to click on it immediately when i thought there was a chance that it might have all 3 somehow.
but wes is not only one of the best, but one of the most unique musicians of all time. i don't care wat song, or who with, if it's got wes in it it'll be incredible
I love 'Trane, but, really, is he missed in this video? Wes is so amazing here (as usual), this vid stands on its own as a gold medal winner, don't you think?
@stuberk625: No known recordings survive, but during the short time Wes played with Coltrane's group, he as often as not blew everyone off stage with his staggering musicianship. Ever the humble man, Wes quit 'Trane's group, saying he wasn't sure what he could offer his music - which was then getting pretty experimental. Wes belongs in the pantheon of the greatest handful of jazz performers on any instrument, right alongside Bird, Trane, Miles and a few others. A unique, one of a kind talent.
@stuberk625: Wes was self-sufficient as a leader, and performed at his best when leading a band. Like all great musicians, he elevated the play of those around him. Then again, I'm biased - Wes is probably my favorite musician of all time... he's certainly my favorite jazzman. "Smoking at the Half Note" was the first jazz record I ever owned, as a part of an out of print title called "The Small Group Recordings." The man was a bloody genius in my opinion. There's been no one like him since.
