Resonance Records is proud to announce the first official release of Wes Montgomery – In Paris: The Definitive ORTF Recording which captures the jazz guitar legend in concert during his only tour of Europe on the night of March 27, 1965 at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris, France. Considered perhaps the greatest live Wes Montgomery performance ever, In Paris is being released in partnership with the Institut national de l’audiovisuel (INA) with remastered high-resolution audio transferred directly from the original tapes, and will mark the first time the Montgomery Estate will be paid for this recording, which has been available as various bootlegs since the 1970s. This is also Resonance’s second album released in partnership with INA in a series of ORTF recordings, following 2016’s critically acclaimed Larry Young – In Paris: The ORTF Recordings.Tracklist:
In Paris: The Definitive ORTF Recording will be released as a limited-edition, hand-numbered (of 3,000) 180-gram 2LP gatefold set exclusively for Record Store Day’s Black Friday Event on November 24, 2017. Mastered by LP mastering icon Bernie Grundman and pressed by Record Technology Inc. (RTI). The album features an all-star band with venerable post-bop pianist Harold Mabern, bassist Arthur Harper and bebop drummer Jimmy Lovelace, along with special guest tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin (who played on another classic live Wes recording from 1962, Full House).
European audiences had eagerly wanted to see Wes Montgomery perform live, but his severe fear of flying had kept him in the states, where he played in mostly local clubs in and around Indianapolis. This 1965 European tour was the only overseas trip he would ever make, just after his forty-second birthday, and three years before his untimely death. According to Harold Mabern, this rhythm section was a relatively new group, having only played a handful of gigs prior to their European tour, but they were very tight and had a great time. “Most of the stuff was spur of the moment; that’s what made it fresh then, and it’s still fresh now. That’s why it sounds happy – because we were happy, and it was all about the music.”
Feldman returned to France in 2012 to explore the Office of French Radio and Television (ORTF) archives, which are overseen by the French National Audiovisual Institute (INA), and learned of countless recordings in their vaults documenting some of the greatest American jazz musicians who lived in – or visited – Paris in the 1960s, including Larry Young, Wes Montgomery and many others. “When we assessed what the ORTF archives had to offer, it was clear to us that the first never-before-released Larry Young material in nearly 40 years was a top priority. Then there was the legendary Wes Montgomery in Paris concert recording, which I knew had been only available as bootlegs for decades. In some ways, I think of Resonance as the house that Wes Montgomery and Bill Evans built, so we are deeply indebted to protecting those artist’s legacies and we do whatever we can to ensure that any newly discovered music from them be presented in the best possible light, and of course, legally with all parties being compensated appropriately.”
THE MUSIC:
This 10-track recording, captured a mere three months before the classic Smokin’ at the Half Note (Verve 1965), starts off with Wes Montgomery’s original composition “Four on Six.” In the album notes, Vincent Pelote describes Wes’ playing as shining with a “fiery solo that establishes the routine that Montgomery follows throughout this concert: single notes, followed by octaves, then those amazing block chords.” Standing by him on the piano, Harold Mabern adds “crashing chords and Phineas Newborn-like runs up and down the keyboard.”
The set consists of many familiar tunes Wes had recorded before on his iconic Riverside studio sessions including “Jingles” and “‘Round Midnight” from The Wes Montgomery Trio in 1959, and “Twisted Blues”from So Much Guitar! in 1961, but at the 1,900 seat Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, we hear Wes stretch out like never before in front of a ravenous audience. Russell Malone commented in his liner note interview, “I thought I knew Wes, because I had listened to a lot of the stuff that he had done on Riverside, and some of the commercial outings. But when I heard him stretching out like that, I’m like, ‘this man is on some other stuff here!’ That Paris recording is so powerful…”
Harold Mabern’s original composition “To Wane,“ a tribute to the great saxophonist Wayne Shorter, will knock your socks off with the lightening speed soloing. Mabern noted that he lifted the melody from Shorter’s solo on “Alamode” from the 1961 Impulse! album, Art Blakey!!!!! Jazz Messengers!!!!!: “he started out with a very melodic, lyrical way of playing, and I took part of that and turned it into my song, and I called it ‘To Wane,’ meaning to wane like the moon.”
Throughout this concert bassist Arthur Harper anchors the solidly swinging rhythm section and the re-mastering of the original tapes on this first-time, legally issued release, allows the contribution of the bass to be properly heard for the very first time. Jimmy Lovelace, a longtime fixture at Smalls jazz club in New York City, tastefully propels the band from the drum chair.
