Wes Montgomery and Clark Terry

[Milestones]

Anyone know anything about this? I've been able to hear a few samples, featuring songs like "Straight No Chaser" and "We Got Rhythm." There are 5 tracks, and it certainly sounds like Wes in his prime. Clark Terry, of course, sounds great. I don't know of any other case where Wes had such a close partnership with a trumpeter/flugelhornist.

When was this recorded? Under whose name? Who are the other players?

Thanks for the info.

Seems to me this session should be better-known.

yep, audience applause is heard on this recording.

[clifford_thornton]

would like to hear this. Should be easy to identify pre-free Bennink.

listening to a track on YT - definitely Bennink.

I think that was from slightly earlier in the year, recorded in Paris.

there's only one euro '65 session with the wes/terry lineup. so it's the same, just an incorrect rhythm section listed on Jazz door.

thanks, can't open the source, but alright. 

seems like the first four tracks also made it to a re-release under Wes + Billy Taylor's name

gotta look for the inside booklet mentioned on there to see if the personnel listing is correct. 

is there another Wes session then, with Harold Mabern but without Clark Terry?

and it's really weird with that Rhythm-a-Ning title listing, why Opus Caprice? the "incorrect" Jazz Door release lists that tune as "Wes Got Rhythm" with Montgomery as the composer

I got this one, for the Joe Williams session which is quite nice.

there was even a tv broadcast with wes, terry and the pim jacobs quartet (including guitarist wim overgaauw trading fours with wes).

sadly that tape is said to not have survived.

I just interviewed Harold Mabern earlier this month and he toured Europe with Wes Montgomery in 1965. They appeared on television broadcasts for the BBC and also in Belgium. I think those may be available on grey market European DVDs.
