  • The drummer looks like Phil Seamen, who was widely acknowledged as the best of the British (and European) jazz drummers. Great film.

  • @MrPegbar Actually, it's Ronnie Stephenson. The credits are there if you click on "show more" :)

  • @Astrotype Ah, so it is. They look very much alike, both physically and in technique - both seemed to play with matched grip. Thanks for the correction.

  • @MrPegbar no problem, thanks for the comment. I've corrected erroneous info in a couple of my other videos due to viewers pointing it out (after double checking) :)

  • I always wonder what Wes was reading off the music stand since he never read music nor even followed chord charts.

    But what a smile he had..he took it all in his stride.

  • Wes amazing....Amazing Wes....Just hear how does begin the solo....

  • @motreby

    and ever,

    ( NEVER forget the last ever...)

    Ever.

    OK?

  • That smile. Wes was a great guy.

  • Simply the finest jazz guitarist born.  Can't add to that.

  • Wes comes from another planet...just landed here one day and blew us all away..a jazz icon and most mimicked guitarist ever...single note..chord solos...octaves..he was a beast!

  • sorry, didn't mean to post twice...
