If a picture is worth a thousand words, how many pages equate to the feeling that you get from a video? As the saying goes, "It's the next best thing to being there.

These three sessions, produced for Reelin' In The Years Productions in Europe, feature guitarist Wes Montgomery with three different piano trios. Filmed in black and white for television, the images are clear and crisp, sonically re-mastered for DVD, and provide an excellent window into the persona and musicianship of the legendary guitarist. As Pat Metheny mentions in his extensive liner notes, Montgomery is captured on film while setting up "The End of a Love Affair in rehearsal with his Dutch quartet, demonstrating his fluency in the "traditional nomenclature of harmony and relating his thoughts to the other musicians eloquently.

Close-ups of Montgomery reveal many of the secrets to his beautiful sound. The thumb, the harmonic adventure, the natural sense of swing, and the ease with which he gets along with the other players, several of whom he had not worked with before, show why he was such an influential guitarist and a memorable musical voice and jazz soloist.

The first three pieces are from an April 2, 1965 session in Holland with pianist Pim Jacobs, bassist Ruud Jacobs and drummer Han Bennink. They groove comfortably and provide a genuine look at how happy working musicians can be when they're doing what they love.

The April 4 session in Belgium is much more serious. With pianist Harold Mabern, bassist Arthur Harper and drummer Jimmy Lovelace, the guitarist moves faster with a steely drive. Dressed in dark suits with skinny 1960s neckties, his quartet interprets five songs while exhibiting an inner fire and drive. "Here's that Rainy Day simmers comfortably as a bossa nova, and "Boy Next Door rambles moderately as a beautiful ballad, while the other tunes drive with plenty of heat.

The final five numbers on the program were filmed May 7 in England with pianist Stan Tracey, bassist Rick Laird, and drummer Jackie Dougan. This session is quite different from the other two in that it includes commentary from club owner Ronnie Scott, who explains the career and music of Wes Montgomery as if he were giving a lecture. The music, of course, features more of Montgomery's great stuff with personable glimpses at each of the artists. The quartet swings and seems to enjoy every minute of the show. The guitarist's "West Coast Blues, in particular, makes this video stand out as an unforgettable piece of jazz history. - Jim Santella

Where do I start..? first... I have been playing the guitar for more than 40-years as a pro..and last 15-years as a jazz guitarist. This DVD has three parts..the second part was available in portions under the Ginus of Jazz guitar Vol 1 and 2.

However...this DVD has cleaned and restored the picture and sound to a level that it is just amazing from T.V. shows recording back in 60's.

Now about the content. The minute I started watching Wes in the first concert talking to the piano player and the band and teaching them a new tune by just casualy speaking and smoking ....my god..Wes Montgomery was alive and well speaking about music left in my living room.

I would say the way he plays the guitar and plays all his ideas one after another with such ease and smile..makes you cry...

Confession...the last three days I have been going home make myself a drink and playing this DVD and sit there and weep.

See ...I grew up listening and envy this guy..now I can actualy see him play....

I have seen many many jazz guitar artists play live and on screen...to me nothing beats Wes.

There are and they were lots of guitar players that as far as instrument technique have been superior ...but NOBODY had the SOUL and the GROOVE of the WES...when he gets going..the whole band is riding on his tale..as if by god I can't beleive this. he had a incredable GROOVE and sense of SWING that made the drummers happy as a kid in a candy store....

Ask any jazz guitar player what kind of guitar sound are they after ...I bet more than 90% will say I like my guitar to sound like Wes..and in the DVD you see what he is using..the Wes Montgomery Model Gibson L-5 (one pick-up only) and Standler tube amp which were being made since 1953...they still make them around $4000.00.

Now...this DVD is a must for anybody who likes jazz, anybody who playes the guitar, anybody who likes incredable visual music experience..and more...

Last...in my opinion the reason Wes elevated the Jazz guitar to another level was...he played it as a guitar not trying to emulate piano or horn lines as lots of guitar playes did or still do ( he used lots of bluesy runs and double stops and block chords)...anothewords...the way he plays ..it can only be reproduced on the guitar...not on any other instrument..and that my friends... will stay forever...!! enough already..by the DVD...make it number one on Amazon..he deserves it....!! - By jojo "nevagich" (Los Angeles, CA)

Sample Liner Notes by Pat Metheny: In the mere nine years that Wes Montgomery made records under his own name, he established an eternal presence in the music world that can be counted as one of the most enduring testaments to the power of improvisational music.

By 1965, when these European television broadcasts were made, Wes was widely regarded as the premier guitarist in jazz. He had recently completed a long stay with Riverside records that had quickly solidified his place as the most important player on the instrument since Charlie Christian.

...

For all of his acclaim and fame, Wes is woefully underrepresented on film. While the Wes Montgomery we know from his best records, playing with the musicians that he was most associated with, appears not to have ever been captured on film, the three shows represented in this DVD release, especially in this newly restored and sonically remastered form, are welcome and insightful additions that provide an incredibly intimate view of Wes in action.

The first segment comes from Holland and features a Dutch rhythm section— pianist Pim Jacobs, his brother, bassist Ruud, and maybe the most consistently important Dutch musician of that era up through today, drummer Han Bennink.

As with the footage from Britain that concludes this DVD, this is Wes playing with musicians that he was most likely totally unfamiliar with, a situation well known to musicians as playing with a “pick up” rhythm section.

I can attest that this experience can often lead to mixed results. Yet there are some musicians who seem to not only be able to play with anyone, under any conditions, and sound great, but make the others around them play and sound their best too. (Clark Terry would maybe be the ultimate example of this rare and wonderful phenomenon; how many over the years have witnessed him, without saying a word, somehow transform a junior high school big band from somewhere in the rural Midwest into a swing machine by sheer rhythmic persuasion?)

Wes easily fits into this special category. His spirit and presence, not to mention rhythmic authority, drive the music in a masterful way. The minimum required for everyone was to just hang on and go along for the ride, but there are moments along the way that transcend.

You can feel the incredible enthusiasm of the Pim Jacobs Trio at having this amazing encounter with Wes. Early in the first blues, there is a great shot of bassist Ruud Jacobs where the look on his face almost shouts out the feeling of “I can’t believe I am getting to do this!”

...

There are many pleasures with this particular footage, including the lush and beautifully recorded sound. Yet the highlight for me is the opportunity to watch Wes in action in between the tunes as a bandleader.

As far as I know, this footage of Wes setting up the tunes and his detailed explanation of “The End Of A Love Affair” to the guys, is some of the most extensive footage of him talking and just hanging out that there is.

What a treat it is to see this side of Wes in action. To a person, every account of Wes’s personality that I have ever heard describes him as being a genuinely warm, funny and energetic man despite his otherworldly skills and talent. (I can personally pay testament to his generosity and goodness from my own brief encounter with him as an awestruck 13-year-old who asked him for his autograph in April 1968 at the Kansas City Jazz Festival—he spent some time talking to me and was kind beyond description).

...

The highlights in fact are the intro and outro to the show where Wes plays a beautiful unaccompanied version of his “West Coast Blues”. On the outro, we are given the same fantastic, over the shoulder, almost “players” point-of-view shot of Wes’s thumb that occurs occasionally throughout this program. Every detail of his thumb technique is revealed, including the several backstrokes on the fast triplet phrase in the melody mixed in with the more prominent downstrokes that he was famous for. For these moments alone, this footage is priceless.
