i everlast love this tune !! i was 18 when i first heard it and i am getting 64 ... always the same pleasure ! hi WES and i see you later hope in your area !!
some people take to jazz like it's a native language. Such was Wes. He did it his own way(with the incredible thumb) and spoke volumes. Long live Wes!
If it ran "in their blood", there would be nothing to forget. The problem is that you have to work like a dog to get this good at playing an instrument. Coming up with juvenile rhymes is so much easier.
@dimondcage you might be interested in reading about how the civil rights movement was brought to its knees in the united states. pivotal black figures were killed or otherwise silenced. solidarity between the classes completely eroded and concepts like black artist and black intellectual gradually became absurd within and beyond the community. despite greater individual freedoms (on paper anyhow), cultural expression for black america is now completely shackled to the language of the have-nots.
Wes is one of the best guitarist of all time. Really enjoy watching him like this. Would have been great if he could have done a duo with django but there both from two completely different eras.
The piano player is amazing too -

My father and oldest brother had tickets to see Wes in Pittsburgh, Pa. He passed away days before the concert.
The Complete Riverside recordings is a must have.

Wes remains my favorite jazz guitarist of all time - it is so cool to SEE him playing as well - he clearly loved what he was doing!
