birdanddizzy Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) EDIT : The video has been suppressed. I just got this clip sent to me from a friend. This clip is a joke, someone has edited the audio... get ready to laugh Click here !!! Just awful... Edited February 12, 2006 by Steven Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 Oh my, I have tears in my eyes! Let's hope someone doesn't think that's real!!! Oh man... that was funny! I'd like to see the real video clip. What's it from? Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 So I found this on YouTube.com: http://www.youtube.com/?v=vfn6bBDXIwU Is that Harold Mabern!??! Quote
birdanddizzy Posted February 7, 2006 Author Report Posted February 7, 2006 Oh man... that was funny! I'd like to see the real video clip. What's it from? I suppose it comes from a VHS titled "Wes Montgomery - Belgium, 1965" It's only 25 minutes long. During their 1965 European tour Wes' quartet filmed five songs for the RTBF (Belgian television). It also exists on DVD on "Legends of Jazz Guitar Volume One". Quote
couw Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 Is that Harold Mabern!??! I'd say yes, that's Mabern Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 hey couw did you see who the 'author' was? Helge Schneider! Quote
birdanddizzy Posted February 7, 2006 Author Report Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) Wes is accompanied by his regular trio from that period, which included Harold Mabern on piano, Arthur Harper on bass, and Jimmy Lovelace on drums. Edited February 7, 2006 by BirdAndDizzy Quote
Claude Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 hey couw did you see who the 'author' was? Helge Schneider! Helge's style is easily recognized Quote
couw Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 hey couw did you see who the 'author' was? Helge Schneider! saw that just now, and dated to april 2004. wassup with that? this is his kind if fun alright, but I can't find anything on this. Quote
Claude Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) No, seriously, I haven't heard Helge on guitar yet, but he has recorded a jazz album where he plays all the instruments, on which some saxophone solos sound close to that fake Wes solo. http://jazz.discogs.com/release/395241 But the fact that his name is in the properties of the movie file doesn't mean he must have something to do with it. It could he been made by a Helge fan. Edited February 7, 2006 by Claude Quote
brownie Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 Wonderful video! The new version of The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery Quote

It could he been made by a Helge fan. Yes, some very funny tenor stuff on that album, much like Shepp's version of Girl From Ipanema (Fire Music) Whether it's him or not will likely remain a mystery, but at least it made me pull out my Helge jazz discs again!

Ron S Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 The audio of the real Belgian TV performances--and others from that tour--are also now available on this Gambit CD: As you can tell from the clip Jim found on youtube.com, the sound is pretty good. Now, if you want an audio recording of the video that started this thread, you have to get the hard-to-find CD "Wes Montgomery Plays Free Jazz," which was issued for a very brief time only in Albania.

Alexander Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 It WAS awfully funny, still I can't help but echo Jim in hoping that nobody stumbles upon that and thinks its real. There are a lot of people out there with a dim view of jazz, and this is just the sort of thing they THINK goes on every night! Quote
couw Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 I should think to THEM the original sounds just like the spoof, so stop worrying already Alexander- Quote

CJ Shearn Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 that video was funny. Wes playing free jazz? LOL Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 The audio of the real Belgian TV performances--and others from that tour--are also now available on this Gambit CD: Is the video available in full? How many tunes did they do? Quote

How many tunes did they do? Wes Montgomery Quartet Harold Mabern (p) Wes Montgomery (g) Arthur Harper (b) Jimmy Lovelace (d) TV broadcast, 'Jazz Prisma', Universal Studio, Brussels, Belgium, March, 1965 Impressions Twisted Blues Here's That Rainy Day (There's That Rainy Day) Jingles The Girl Next Door (The Boy Next Door) Wes Montgomery Discography All 5 of these tracks are on the currently available Gambit CD. That CD also contains the following 5 tunes performed by the same group on a television show in London in March 1965: Yesterdays Full House 'Round Midnight Twisted Blues Jingles and the following 4 tunes performed by Wes with Martial Solal (p), Michel Gaudry (b), Ronnie Stephenson (d), and Johnny Griffin (ts, on last tune only) on a television show in Hamburg, Germany in April 1965: Here's That Rainy Day Four on Six Twisted Blues Blue Monk It's a very nice CD. I don't know anything about the video. Speaking of that European tour by Wes, the best currently available recording from it is the "Complete Live in Paris" on Definitive: This is 2 CDs worth of a concert in Paris in March 1965, also with Mabern, Harper, Lovelace, and Griffin. Great sound and, IMO, some of the best--if not the best--live Wes available. If you're a Wes fan at all, you HAVE to get this if you don't already have it. Quote
