Summary: The ONLY footage of Wes
Review: I'm thrilled to find this -- my previous copy was a horrible bootleg. It's the ONLY footage of Wes Montgomery available! It's worth it to see his effortless genius.

Summary: BE FOREWARNED!
Review: The quality of the content of this video is excellent. The problem? The length! It's only 25 minutes long! During their 1965 European tour Wes' quartet filmed five songs for Belgian television. And that's exactly what you get, five songs and its over. Granted, the musicianship is excellent but one can't help feeling disappointed when it's over so quickly. It's a shame that they couldn't have supplemented it with some other performance. You do get a small booklet too, but it's the standard Wes bio containing information that his true fans would already know. But even though it's ridiculously short (and priced at a dollar a minute) it's still worth it to see a true jazz master at work. So if you're a jazz guitar fan check it out, but be forewarned!
