Recorded during the one single overseas tour he would ever make due to his fear
of flying, In Paris, The Definitive ORTF Recording is considered perhaps the
greatest live Wes Montgomery performance ever. Wes Montgomery is widely
considered one of the major jazz guitarists, known for an unusual technique of
plucking the strings with the side of his thumb which granted him a distinctive
sound. 

Pianist Harold Mabern says of this recording Most of the stuff was spur of the
moment; thats what made it fresh then, and its still fresh now. Thats why it
sounds happy - because we were happy, and it was all about the music. 

In Paris: The Definitive ORTF Recording captures jazz guitar legend Wes
Montgomery on his only tour of Europe on the night of March 27, 1965 at the
ThÃ©Ã¢tre des Champs-Ã‰lysÃ©es in Paris, France. The first official
release of this legendary concert, In Paris is being released in partnership
with the Institutnational de laudiovisuel (INA) with remastered, high-resolution
audio transferred directly from the original tape reels. The concert was
organized by jazz producer and impresario Alan Bates to the great delight of
European audiences who had long wanted to see Wes perform live, but his severe
fear of flying had kept him in the states. Featuring an all-star band with
pianist Harold Mabern, bassist Arthur Harper and drummer Jimmy Lovelace, with
special guest tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin.
