Editorial Reviews

Wes made relatively few live recordings in his career-and this set brings you three of 'em! His famous Impressions and Solitude LPs (both from '65) join a blistering concert from the Theatre des Champs Elysees in the same year (with Jimmy Griffin on sax). Hear the great guitar innovator at work as he plays Mr. Walker; Round About Midnight; Impressions; Full House; Twisted Blues , and more! --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

This review is from: Impressions of Paris (Audio CD)

First of all, let me say that I am a huge Wes fan! Not only is he one of my favorite guitarists, but one of my favorite composers as well. Everything Wes played was genius, including all the music on this CD. However, this release is not worth buying.
This CD follows in the long tradition of Wes bootlegs of the March 27, 1965 concert in Paris. The songs are mistitled, the sound quality is poor; the personal are not listed, the date is not listed, the venue is not listed, and the booklet is non-informative. To make matters worse the song order has been rearranged to an awful order!
If you are interested in obtaining a good version of this concert buy "Quintessential Wes" by Varese Records.
