Wes Montgomery's remarkable 1961 colaboration with Milt Jackson is featured in the 12th installment of "Orrin Keepnews, Producer."

One of the most respected of all jazz producers, Orrin Keepnews's long and productive career has included working with such artists as Sonny Rollins, Bill Evans, Wes Montgomery, Cannonball Adderley and Thelonious Monk, as well as founding influential jazz labels Riverside and Milestone.

The Keepnews Collection, from The Concord Music Group is a reissue series of albums produced by this jazz legend. It features time-honored titles recorded by the true titans of jazz, originally released on Riverside and Milestone Records. All reissues, with 24-bit remastering from the master tapes, include original liner notes and Keepnews' voluminous new commentaries; when available, the original tracks are supplemented by bonus cuts from the sessions.

  • @BuckshotLaFunke It was never even considered as a reasonable option at that time. Because of his lack of formal training he just did what he thought sounded good...While I think formal education is great thing and very valuable you can only teach so much about jazz. Either a cat has something to say or he is just running scales.

  • if only more commercial-type videos looked like this... but, to make a worthy advertising video you need to advertise a worthy product in first place.

  • Thank you so much for posting this. Wes is one of my heroes.

  • Wes' octave playing was considered impossible at the time.

  • Great video. Must check out the others! One of my all time favourite albums. No question that Bags was one of *the* best improvisers.

  • Awesome!

  • remember, he was a very humble musician.

  • Thanks Video Guy

    Your one of the best !!!!
