21:00 Session The Wes Montgomery Songbook by Christian Havel

John Leslie "Wes" Montgomery (1925 - 1968):

Of all the guitarists of the post-bebop period, he has the most natural phrasing... (John Scofield)

He was my main influence, melodically and rhythmically... (Pat Metheny)

Records don't do this musician justice (Quincy Jones)

A musician develops self-confidence by solving his own problems by himself. Don't worry about limits... we all have them and must accept them in order to make something meaningful out of them. What I do may not be technically as it should be, but music comes out of it as it should. Why? Because I play and because I've got to tell my story. (Wes Montgomery)

Given these comments from the masters, there's nothing more to say. Sincere thanks to the great Christian Havel who'll be leading this session. RD
