5.0 out of 5 stars Intimidating, October 2, 2002

This review is from: Legends of Jazz Guitar, Vol. 1 (DVD)

Priceless footage of 4 guys who knew how to play. The camera angles focus mainly upon the fretboard, enabling us to see how beautiful jazz guitar is when it's played well. If you like jazz guitar, you need this. Be prepared to quit the instrument, though...I'll never play this well.

This review is from: Legends of Jazz Guitar, Vol. 1 (DVD)

This is an amazing dvd. I am a guitarist and have been searching for footage of Wes Montgomery since I discovered his playing. It is a treat to see him execute those great lines with such ease. A great study on the artistry of one of the greatest jazz guitarist of all time. The bonus material of Wes in Belguim makes it a definite bargain. A must have for the serious jazz guitarist. I own all 3 volumes of Legends of Jazz Guitar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential to any Wes fan, March 21, 2007

Frederick II of Hohenstaufen "Amor et Hilaritas" (right here) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Legends of Jazz Guitar, Vol. 1 (DVD)

This dvd has some of the best jazz on film. The bonus footage includes the entire set from Belgium. You'll also be wanting Vol. 2 for the rest of the BBC set (two clips from the BBC are not on Vol. 1).

This dvd shows Wes playing in a very relaxed atmosphere and he clearly is enjoying himself. I've never seen any footage of Wes before so this dvd is a welcome addition to my home. Yes, I love the others on this dvd, but Wes is my favorite guitarist I've ever heard.
