Múlinn Jazz Club: Wes
Montgomery Tribute
Guitarist Ásgeir Ásgeirsson and his quartet will pay tribute to the
legendary guitarist Wes Montgomery. 60 years ago Wes released the
legendary record Incredible Jazz Guitar which was the start of his recording
career for the Riverside label. Wes Montgomery´s repertoire contained
classic jazz standards and his own composition and later popular songs.
Wes Montgomery is without a doubt one of the most influential jazz
guitarist. On this cosy evening your host will take you through
his short carrier in words and in music spanning from 1959
- 1968.
