Eric Posted October 13, 2003 Report Posted October 13, 2003 Seems I had this on lp once and traded it because it was almost unlistenable. But, I could have been wrong and so I would appreciate the opinion of anyone that owns this. Thanks, Eric Quote
mikeweil Posted October 13, 2003 Report Posted October 13, 2003 Actually this is two LPs: VGM 0001 Live At Jorgies Volume One 1. All Of You 12:54 2. Heartstrings 6:05 3. Summertime 7:30 4. Back To Bach To Bock 14:03 (that's how they spell it on the cover ....) VGM 0008 Live At Jorgies Volume Two 1. (Stella By) Starlight 11:32 2. 'Round Midnight (incomplete) 3:32 all recorded on August 19, 1961 Wes Montgomery, guitar Buddy Montgomery, vibes or piano Monk Montgomery, basses Billy Hart, drums Sound is mono but very good for an amateur live recording, the mood is similar to the Half Note live recordings or the European live bootlegs from 1965. Billy Hart was very young then and plays it very straight, but the brothers are all in fine form - I wouldn't miss it. If I remember correctly there was a CD with all six tracks. 'Round Midnight is incomplete because the tape ran out, but the break before the solos is absolutely gorgeous! Volume Two also includes two radio interviews (15 and 25 minutes) from 1966 and 1968 obviously taped with a cheap cassette machine with automatic level control, plenty of tape hiss but rare - perhaps you remembered that sound ..... Considering there are too few live recordings of Wes, and that he played fantastic on all of them, I'd easily prefer these over any of the Verve or A&M studio dates. Quote
