5.0 out of 5 stars Masterwork, November 28, 2008

By	John J. Shibley "johnzero" (East Coast, North America) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Forget "The Incredible". This is Wes's masterwork, performed live with a band finally up to his genius. Despite all the praise he got as a player, I think this album makes the argument that he's STILL under-appreciated. His solo on "Blue N' Boogie" is as fine a piece of spontaneous composition as exists. If you like jazz guitar, if you like jazz... hell, if you like music, don't wait another second. Get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wes' defining moment, January 27, 2009

By	Mark F. Montimurro "Certified Massage Therapist" (Montclair, New Jersey USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love guitar jazz. Real guitar jazz, not the watered down sap they play on 'smooth jazz' radio or the avantgarde dreck intellectuals play at their dinner parties. The category is chock full with wonderful players, both living and dead; alas, Wes is no longer with us, but his influence is all over the place. He was a great technician but also a brilliant interpreter who could achieve gorgeous tone, and sometimes slipping into schmaltzy pop modes. None of that on this disc, sparkling and freshly-remastered, that showcases Wes at the absolute top of his game...and of the guitar jazz heap.

5.0 out of 5 stars WINGO, August 12, 2009

By	Hepcat "hipster" - See all my reviews

Well cats this is it. This is the Wes you want. Swinging, hip, and utterly musical. Solo on Cariba take 2 is one of those magic solos that is just transcendent.
