Wes Montgomery "Twisted Blues" .
4:06 love this bit 🙂
August 1990
For all jazz lovers! There is a rare audio clip that has hardly any views of the most soulful jazz/blues performance I have ever heard. Riviera Paradise by Stevie Ray Vaughan live at Alpine valley. It was his very last show before the helicopter crash.
I agree with you there.

AB> This is such a hip tune. Not sure why it is not played more by jazzers. Too hip?
Playing it in Nashville with a trio. But we are tragically hip:)

Who is the pianist?
Who are the six douche-copters who clicked "dislike"…?
Sure did. It was amazing the non cliches he’d use ,instead just musical approaches from all he heard not just Jazz!. His feel was of course the bottom line I feel,not just copying notes. I suspect he could easily create his own approaches. In fact I read he would practice his own ideas then use them on his gigs. He and Joe Henderson were among the top that didn’t repeat phrases.God given talent fully agreed and just being in the environment soaking up sounds! His thumb was no ordinary one too.
so true!!
I hear you bro!
In orden if appareance in my shirt life: JamiroquaiRoy AyersRony JordanGeorge Benson and now im gonna listen Wes…
This is a cool version, but i have to say i like this song a bit better with the tempo up a bit. Wes is still the man, no matter what!
The Master makes it look effortless…but us guitarists know better….to play at this level takes commitment, God-given talent, and decades of learning the language of jazz. Wes was the bomb!!!!
Always Musical !!!!!!!
Where is the dignity in music these days?
i like this slower version better than the studio
Such a wonderful song, I could listen all day, thanks for posting it!
Perfect!!
This guy wasn’t only the baddest jazz player in his time but he had a cool name! Just saying his name makes me feel like all is good in the world. 5star!
