POST #045 McCoy Tyner on Wes Montgomery

“When I was with John Coltrane, he hired Wes Montgomery for a while and I enjoyed that, Wes had big ears. He wasn’t the kind of guy who went to music school. He didn’t have to. It was a natural thing. He could hear anything. Whomever I am playing with, we have to come together. That means listening and paying attention to the person you are playing with, and hopefully trying to complement them. Consequently, they will listen to you. If you show that kind of respect, something beautiful will come out” – McCoy Tyner

(Music is communication. Playing with others is conversation. Wes doing Windy on his more 'commercial' A&M recordings. Sure there are better clips of Wes playing more jazz...but how many feature him in a BRIGHT ORANGE suit! Also a clip of vintage Wes doing Coltrane's Impressions...effortlessly combining single lines, octives. Damn! - Ed)
