Leila--Wes Montgomery

This is beautiful

[coosoorlog]

I've been playing this as bright bop and it's awesum. Works wonderfully as a ballad too, of course :).

@coosoorlog i'd love to hear your version if you have a recording or a vid on here! i play it as a ballad...

[coosoorlog]

@fender3511 Umm, sure, I'll try to find some time and make a recording of sorts. :) This standard surely needs more internet coverage :).

I always loved that interlude there at 2:35-2:59..

This ballad should have been covered many times over by other jazz artists. Wes will always be the man.

thank you fender 3511 for posting this beautiful ballad by Wes. This standard is overlooked by most, but it is worth being noticed. I am incorporating this tune into my repertoire immediately.
